1 Corinthians 13:13, The Greatest of These Is Charity

1 Corinthians 13:13 And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.

The Apostle describes the Holy Spirit’s fruit in the believers’ life in Galatians 5:22-23 “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.” He explains the believer who bears such fruit of the Spirit receives no condemnation whatsoever, there is no law to judge virtues but God’s commendation.

On earth, faith and hope and love are spiritual virtues that the believer cultivates for their spiritual well-being and prosperity. In heaven, faith and hope will be a reality because we will live in the very presence of God.

May the people of God bear fruit that will last for eternity. Amen.
