1 Corinthians 13:13
But now abideth faith, hope, charity. These three shall survive.
They are eternal. They continue to exist in the church, and shall not
fail in its glorified state. As long as the redeemed saint shall have
future ages before him, so long will trust in God and hope give them
brightness, while love itself is the very atmosphere of the divine
life.
The greatest of these is charity. Love is the greatest because it
glorifies both faith and hope, sanctifies every faculty and Christian
grace, is the very moving impulse of the gospel, and is the one quality
that is divine. "God is love" (1 John 4:8).
