"Now abides faith, hope, and love", Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians 13. Here Paul speaks of what these produce in the church of Thessalonica. Work was produced by faith, labor produced by love, and endurance inspired by hope. These three attributes of the Spirit-filled life are part of the foundation for everything. If our lives are missing these we will fail. I would actually say if they are missing you might want to see if you are connected with Jesus. Yes, I understand there are times our faith is tested, our love is tried and our hope feels long gone but these would only be moments. However, when they are in our lives we will be a witness to the work of God like this church.
