Faith, Hope, and Love

Love is not jealous, but is kind.
Hope is intertwined with faith and love.
Faith is the evidence of things hoped for and the evidence of things that are unseen.

I didn't always understand what it means.  We cannot be believers without hope, faith, and love.  We might as well not even be called a true believer in Christ if we have neither faith, hope, and or love.  Those three just go hand in hand in hand.

I recall that there was a painting or photo about three Native American women who each symbolized hope, faith, and love.  Like in the second sentence, hope is most definitely intertwined with faith and love.  We are to be kind to one another, faithful in giving, living, and serving, and hope in the One and Only True and Living God.

There is a future with our King.  All of us have an eternal destiny.  Will one hope in the Lord, have faith in Jesus, and love God with all of his or her might? That is a sum of a believer's life.
