Hope, Faith and Love

    The bible loves to talk about hope faith and love, the greatest being love, of course, according to the bible. I have noticed that people throughout history have had difficulty fully grasping the definition of them. The definition seems to lean on the greatest philosophers theory that people go by. Well im going to take a swing at the bat and see if it hit the ball. 

      Starting with the greatest of them all, love. Love is a feeling and a condition. Not  “I love you under these certain conditions”. Condition as a state of being something that is. You can not do anything about love when you are in it, (the condition). And love does not envy, it is patient, it is kind, does not boast (meaning it is humble and does not need to be showy) is not proud.” that is Corinthians 13:4. 

     The bible gives you the exact definition of Love, by itself. Love can be found within people for many different things, such as the love for people, money, self, pets, nature, job, hobbies, power, control, helping the list goes on. If you put love above all your other conditions and feelings towards people and God (as the bible definition says love is) then we would have everything good flowing to us. 

     I specifically want to write about hope and faith. However because these two I hear so much about. Hope. Have you ever wanted something to go your way? Or wanted something to not go the way you want. That is hope. It's the outcome you wish to happen or not happen. You can hope it doesn't rain tomorrow so you can go on the boat trip you have planned for all week long. You can hope you get the random pick socks color in the surprise bag at the gift shop. It's want you want or not want. Or to bring it to bible terms you can hope Jesus will come back soon. 

     Moving on to faith, everyone loves the word faith. It brings good thoughts. Why? 

Because faith is the thing you believe in. It's your belief system of any category. You are betting, and no I don't condone betting. But for example purposes. If you actually place a bet on something you have faith in, you believe in it and you're willing to put your energy into it, and if it doesn't turn out that way of your believing then you are truly bewildered. It was a fact for you in other words. Faith equals what is fact for you. So when something has faith in Jesus they know him.

     So Hope is a wish for something. And faith is what is fact to you.  And love is all pure joy.
