Hi,
There are some qualities I could not regard as one being better than or above the other. A cake isn't a cake without all the right ingredients along with the love and know-how the chef puts into making it. Faith is diluted without hope and love. Love encourages hope and faithfulness. Hope would be nothing without love and faith. These qualities all blend well, work well and are dependent on each other.

No, they coincide. Love is the greatest gift. Faith is a relationship based in love. The two together give reason to hope, but hope gives the proof of faith and evidence of love... Each is a gift which increases the others. Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things believed. It cannot be above, because without the others it is empty and meaningless.

Actually, no. Faith is about trust. Hope is based on faith, and not the other way around. I have faith in God's Word because it has been proven to be true over and over again every time I open its pages. That same Bible shows my hope is in its main focus--Jesus. I seek His face because of love--starting with His love for me and dying for me on the cross. My love for God compelled me to seek Him, and through Christ, I was able to find Him. As I walk in His love, my faith increases. As my faith increases, the more I trust, and the more assured I am in the hope of the resurrection. I have 100% assurance now. Not because of what I have done, but everything HE has done and accomplished already.

The faith can't exist without hope and love. It's very simply.
Have a great day you too!

Paul seems to be speaking about a specific kind of love in 1 Cor. 13 - that is, the kind of love that made what Jesus did on the cross possible. I think that is what he means by saying that the greatest is love...have that kind of love and the faith and hope will be great partners.

Above all, love is the greatest gift we can give to each other, have and obtain. Without love our faith and hope die. Love is the strongest feeling on earth and we all need it in our lives whether we give or receive.

faith is a factor in hope and love, not exactly above. faith is ur belief in something, a steady belief that is very strong. hope and love require faith, and faith is used through hope and love.

Without faith, there is no hope and love.

Love is significant because of the fact it separates the honest believer from the wannabee Christian. There are some obtainable who declare to be Christians. They walk the walk and talk the controversy. We see numerous that interior the fundamentalist Christians. They declare to have a deep faith in God yet bash and choose others who do not share their extremist perspectives. What does the Bible say? It says we could consistently not choose others. We talk approximately our very own religious lives and flow away others for God. in basic terms he's holy adequate to choose others and can see into their hearts. we are imperfect and have no real to show the finger at all of us else. I left a church because of this very difficulty. They claimed to have a deep love and faith for God. some got here into the church who have been homeless. they did not do something to help them a million John 3:17. If we somewhat love God, we've an empathy in our hearts for others. we are able to attain out and help them. we are able to be sort to others and do the main appropriate component. it somewhat is not something we are able to do because of the fact we could, yet we are able to do it of course devoid of even thinking approximately it because of the fact it somewhat is area of our nature. whilst the Spirit of God comes right into a individual, he ameliorations us to be like that. Matthew chapters 7 and 12 talk approximately this. "by potential of their culmination ye shall be responsive to them." once you're a honest Christian, your movements will persist with. it rather is the reason love is the main severe component. Edit: All 3 of those issues, faith, wish, and love, are coupled collectively. you are able to not have one devoid of the different is what Paul is asserting. James 2:17 says faith devoid of works (sort movements) is lifeless being on my own.

Faith, in my opinion, is about trust and belief beyond the norm. I believe that when one has faith, hope is so easy to keep in one's heart, rendering it ever so easy to Love, as commanded to Christians in Matthew.
