TABLE OF CONTENTS
1. What is Biblical Faith?
2. What is Biblical Hope?
3. What is Biblical Love?
.1 What is Biblical Faith?
We are familiar with Paul's eloquent description of Christian love in his letter to the Corinthian church (I Corinthians 13:4-7) in which he lays out the image of Christ fully formed in the character of a mature Christian. Less known and quoted, however, is the conclusion of this section where he sets in order the spiritual steps that both lead and enable the disciple of Christ to reach this spiritual maturity.
¹³ But now faith, hope, love, abide these three; but the greatest of these is love.
This study explains more fully what the Bible teaches about faith, hope and love so we can learn to abide in these, and in doing so reach a greater measure of spiritual maturity so desirable in Christ.
The first step, faith, is both a large and a small subject. Large in the sense that so much has been and can be said about it. Small because each of us has our own individual and intimate sense of what faith is for us. Faith is like the sun: vast and beyond human grasp but still personal as each senses its heat on one's face on a hot summer afternoon.
