'And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.' (1 Corinthians 13:13)
In 'For the Love of God:Vol 2,' the reading from D.A. Carson this morning said,'It may be that the reason love is the greatest of these three cardinal Christian virtues is that love is the only one that God exercises. Elsewhere the Bible says that God is love (1 John 4:8); It never says that God is faith or that God is hope.'
A couple of questions if you don't mind:
Why is love the greatest?
Will faith & hope be in heaven?
I'm aware that to many the Biblical definitions of Hebrews 11 & Romans 8 would suggest that only love will remain, yet I'm interested to hear why people would hold to the view that all three will remain.
Thanks
