And now …
1 Corinthians 13:13 (NIV)
And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
Hope
Why can we hope in God?
He is not a liar, but truthful always.
Numbers 23:19 (CEB)
God isn’t a man that he would lie, or a human being that he would change his mind. Has he ever spoken and not done it, or promised and not fulfilled it?
God loves us and is love
John 3:16 (NIV)
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
Jesus rose from the dead
1 Corinthians 15:3 (NIV)
For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures.
