What does the Bible say about faith, hope, and charity?

Answered in 1 source

Faith, hope, and charity are central virtues to the Christian life, with charity being the greatest.

The Bible emphasizes the importance of faith, hope, and charity, as noted in 1 Corinthians 13:13. These three virtues are a work of God's grace in the believer's life, showcasing the transformation that occurs through faith in Christ. While faith allows us to believe in God and His promises and hope gives us a confident expectation of the future, charity, or love, is the greatest because it reflects God's nature and His sacrificial love for us. Ultimately, the presence of these virtues in a believer affirms their election by God and the work of the Holy Spirit in their life.
