One-minute read.
“Love Remains,” a book I published in 2023, focuses on the 16 words in today’s verse. Faith, hope, and love, often referred to as divine sisters, guide us on life’s journey. At the end of the day, when everything else disappears, love remains. In life, we need faith to believe in what we can’t see, which gives us hope to persevere. But when God calls us home, we’ll no longer need faith, nor hope, because we will bask in the love of the Lord forever.
Jesus introduced us to true love when He came to Earth to save us. His actions, rooted in love, teach us how to actively care for others unconditionally. Paul understood Christ’s love and worked tirelessly to help others understand the concept as well. Not passive, love acts, giving us direction and purpose for our lives.
To fulfill the greatest commandment, love God and others (Mark 12:30-31), we must learn about love and understand it. Nothing will grow you more than finding ways to love others, even the ones you don’t like. I have felt hatred towards individuals who have harmed me or my family, learning to love them drew me closer to God than ever before, and helped me mature in ways I never imagined. Love does conquer all.
Live by faith and the hope of what lies ahead, the eternal love of Jesus, in whose presence you will dwell forever.
