In 1 Corinthians 13, Paul has just given a masterful explanation of love. And he concludes by saying, “And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love.” Faith is an attitude and disposition towards God. Hope is an attitude and disposition towards the future. And love is an attitude and disposition towards people.
In this series, Charles Price suggests that they are like a three-legged stool on which Christian experience sits. If you break one of those legs, the stool collapses. We can’t have faith at the expense of love, or love at the expense of hope, or hope at the expense of faith. “These three together,” says Paul, “remain.” These are the bedrock ingredients in a living Christian experience.
