And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
Of all the gifts and graces that are poured out in great abundance into the lives of believers, there are three that out-shine and out-last all others. We are told that these three, spiritual fruits of God’s amazing grace will continue and will remain and abide into the eternal state. They are faith, hope, and love. While faith and hope will certainly continue throughout the eternal ages, it is love that will increase and multiply when we see Jesus face to face. For we see Him as He is and we shall be like Him. God is perfect love and the perfect love of God has been eternally poured into our hearts; we have been made His children, through faith. Both faith and hope are a beautiful manifestation of the love of God in the life of a believer, because we live by faith and not by sight; and we live in hope of our promised. But love is the greatest of all, for it will not only remain but it will enlarge and expand. It will increase, and then it will grow even more; not only in this present age but in the eternal ages to come. But love is a gift of God, and love is the primary fruit of the Spirit that will continue to grow and expand, beyond our wildest dreams.
