  1. Faith, hope and love

  2. faith • To believe everything that God has revealed to us • To believe nothing concerning God but what is honorable and excellent • To give ourselves wholly up to Christ in heart and desire, to become disciples of His teaching • To believe all God’s promises, and that whatever is promised in Scripture shall on God’s part be as surely performed as if we had it in possession • To believe also the conditions of the promise, or that part of the revelation that concerns our duty • To profess publicly the doctrine of Jesus Christ, openly owning whatever He has revealed and commanded, not being ashamed of the word of God • To pray without doubting, without weariness, without faintness, entertaining no jealousies or suspicions of God.

  3. hope • To rely upon God with a confident expectation of His promises • To esteem all the danger of an action, and the possibilities of failure, and every mishap that can intervene, to be no defect on God’s part, but either a mercy on His part, or a fault on ours • To rejoice in the midst of a misfortune or seeming sadness, knowing that this may work for good, and will, if we are not found lacking • To desire, to pray, and to long for the great object of our hope, the mighty price of our high calling

  4. love • Love does all things that may please the beloved person. It performs all his commandments. “This is love, that we keep His commandments.” Love is obedient. • It does all the intimations and secret significations of his pleasure whom we love • Love gives away all things so that the lover may advance the interest of the beloved person • It suffers all things that are imposed by its beloved, or that can happen for his sake, or that intervene in his service • Love is also impatient of anything that may displease the beloved person, hating all sin as the enemy of its friend.
