LOVE (5) THE BELIEVER’S GREAT HOPE

Love hopes and endures (1 Cor. 13:7) but hope concerns the unknown future, so how can love "hope all things"? Answer; because "all things" here mean things that God has promised in His Word and if we love Him we will surely trust Him to honour His promises. In the same way love endures hardship by trusting God and looking at the unseen realities of eternity rather than the passing events of time. Strength for the present; hope for the future.
