Faith is the assured expectation of realities not yet beheld or seen. Hope simply means our expectations. Certainly, when the things not yet beheld becomes so real to us by reason of faith, and when our hope would have been realized, then faith and hope will be minimized paving the way for Love to preponderate. As Christians we need these three qualities, but we must understand that Love is the dominant quality that will never cease. God is Love.
And now these three remains; Faith, Hope and Love. But the greatest of these is LOVE.
Love is the basis of our salvation
We have our eyes set on our expectations, our hopes. Faith is the what we believe our hope to be. It is the evidence of our expectation.
