Faith Hope and Agapē Love: A Brief Look at 1 Corinthians 13:13

By Henry Dening

"And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love." Faith looks back to the cross, Hope looks forward to the crown, and Love fills up the space between ‒ and the eternity beyond. We are justified by faith, made pure by hope, and glorified by love. Faith is the root, Hope the blossom, and Agapē Love the fruit which is gathered by the Master for His table above. This is a brief and personally challenging look at the well-known verse of 1 Corinthians 13:13.
