Faith, Love and Hope: Colossians 1:1-8
Faith (Gk: pistis) believing that someone else will do something that is not yet visible, or that has not yet happened. It produces assurance of things we can only hope for and a certainty about things we cannot see.
- 2 Corinthians 5:7
- Romans 8:35-37
- Ephesians 3:20-21
- Hebrews 11:1 (AMP) – Now faith is the assurance (title deed, confirmation) of things hoped for (divinely guaranteed), and the evidence of things not seen [the conviction of their reality—faith comprehends as fact what cannot be experienced by the physical senses].
Love (Gk: agape) affection or benevolence; showing kindness to strangers; giving hospitality, and being charitable. A self-sacrificial love.
- John 13:34-35
L – love others with a genuine Agape Love
O – often look for ways to show love through your time, talent, or treasure that helps someone
V – value the differences of others as God created us uniquely for Kingdom purposes
E – encourage the hearts of others through words, deeds, or prayer with them
Hope (Gk: elipis) to anticipate usually with pleasure, expectation or confidence; confident expectation.
- Titus 1:1-2
- 1 Peter 1:3-5
- Isaiah 40:31
Where is your faith, love and hope?
- But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. (Hebrews 11:6)
- A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. (John 13:34)
- Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us. (Romans 5:5)
