1Cor 13:13 | MHM | STEP | v. 13 : Paul concludes, “And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love” (1 Corinthians 13:13 ). Faith and hope are important, but love is the greatest of all. In heaven, faith will become sight and hope will be fulfilled, but love will continue forever. Love is the highest Christian grace because it is the very nature of God (1 John 4:8, 16 ), and it will be perfected in God’s presence for all eternity.
