WHY FAITH, HOPE AND LOVE SHOULD DWELL IN THE HEART OF A CHRISTIAN? (1 Corinthians 13:13)


 AN ART DEPICTING APOSTLE PAUL

FAITH: 

1) Because just have faith when you're in the power of darkness is God will save you from there

Ephesians 2:1 And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;  

Ephesians 2:2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:  

Ephesians 2:3 Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.  

Ephesians 2:4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,  

Ephesians 2:5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)

2) Because faith can even move mountains

Matthew 21:21 Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done.

HOPE:

1) Because there in HOPE when you're working for your tribulations

Romans 5:3 And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;  

Romans 5:4 And patience, experience; and experience, hope:

2) Because eternal life is THE HOPE

Titus 1:2 In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began;

3) We are saved by HOPE

Romans 8:24 For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for

LOVE:

1) It is the fulfillment of the law of God

Romans 13:10 Love is the fulfilling of the law.

2) It will bring you to God's paradise

Matthew 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

3) It will bring you fortune in life

Deuteronomy 11:27 A blessing, if ye obey the commandments of the LORD your God, which I command you this day:

WHAT KIND OF BLESSINGS?

Psalms 128:1 How blessed is everyone who fears the LORD,
         Who walks in His ways.

Psalms 128:2 When you shall eat of the fruit of your hands,

         You will be happy and it will be well with you.

Psalms 128:3 Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine
         Within your house,
         Your children like olive plants
         Around your table.

Psalms 128:4 Behold, for thus shall the man be blessed
         Who fears the LORD. (NASB)

4) Your enemy/enemies will also be God's enemies too:

Exodus 23:22 “But if you carefully obey his voice and do all that I say, then I will be an enemy to your enemies and an adversary to your adversaries. (English Standard Version)
