In 1 Corinthians 13:13 Paul says that there is faith, hope and love but the greatest of these is love. What does he mean and why did he say that? Someone pointed out that you can understand why Paul said that by asking three questions.
1. Does God have faith? If faith is trust then in whom would He put His trust? Some may say that He puts His trust in Himself but if He is the Almighty, All Sufficient then does He need to even put faith in Himself?
2. Does God have hope? He is all knowing so what does He hope for? To say God has hope would be meaningless. We have hope because we have faith in God and we are finite but He is infinite.
3. Does God love? Here the answer is different than the last two question because not only does God love but God is love. That is why the greatest of these is love.
