【林前13:13】如今常存的有信，有望，有爱；这三样，其中最大的是爱。【1Cor13:13】And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

当保罗结束这篇“爱的颂歌”时，把我们的信仰历程凝聚成了三个词：信、望、爱！When Paul concluded this “Hymn of Love,” he summed up our journey of faith in three words: faith, hope, and love.信是我们与神相遇的起点，盼望是我们的动力，活出爱，与爱合一是我们的终极目标。Faith is theng point where we encounter God. Hope is the driving force that keeps us moving forward. To live out love and be united with love is our ultimate goal.若没有信为根基，盼望就成为虚妄的幻想。没有盼望，信就不能持久。没有爱的仍在死中。爱因信而生、靠望而持守。Without faith as the foundation, hope becomes an empty fantasy. Without hope, faith cannot endure. And without love, we remain in death. Love is born of faith and sustained by hope.

我们得救是本乎恩，也因着信，因信入门，因信得生。亚伯拉罕在无可指望的时候，因信仍有指望。纵然没有看见，仍然信神所应许的必能成就。We are saved by grace through faith. We enter by faith and live by faith. Abraham, when there was no reason to hope, still hoped by faith. Even without seeing, he believed that what God had promised He was able to accomplish.因着信，因着对复活的盼望，对永恒国度的盼望，无数属灵人视万事为粪土，单以得着耶稣为至宝，一生追求活出耶稣舍己的爱。ised He was able to accomplish. Because of faith and the hope of resurrection, the hope of an eternal Kingdom, countless saints have regarded all things as rubbish compared to the surpassing worth of knowing Christ, and they spent their lives pursuing and living out Jesus’ self-giving love.

信、望、爱，环环相扣，层层递进，最大的是爱，因神就是爱，爱是永不止息。Faith, hope, and love are inseparably linked and build upon one another, but the greatest of these is love—for God is love, and love never fails.耶稣全心信靠天父，因摆放在前面的喜乐，轻看十字架的苦楚，倾倒生命，用顺服至死的爱，打败魔鬼，胜过死亡，改写了人类历史！主啊，谢谢你，是你先爱了我们，为我们预备了永恒的家！Jesus fully trusted the Father. For the joy set before Him, He endured the suffering of the cross, poured out His life, and with a love that obeyed unto death, He defeated the devil, conquered death, and rewrote human history. Lord, thank You—it was You who loved us first and prepared for us an eternal home!

主，求你赦免我，这些年走得那么艰难，常在自我里挣扎，是因着不信，失去了盼望！Lord, forgive me. These past years have been so hard because I’ve struggled in my own strength. It was unbelief that caused me to lose hope.是你的爱一次次拯救我，让我回到起初的信，信自己罪人的本相，使我信你的话，以得救的盼望为头盔，对付自己的心，攻破坚固的营垒，让基督的生命更多掌权，追求与爱合一，荣耀天父的名。But Your love has saved me again and again, bringing me back to the faith I had at first—to believe the truth about my sinful nature, to trust Your Word, to wear the helmet of salvation as I battle my own heart, to tear down strongholds, and to let the life of Christ take greater rule in me. May I pursue oneness with love and bring glory to the Father’s name.
