Faith Hope & Love: Overcoming Faith, Enduring Hope, Extravagant Love

Writing with the flavour of his powerful preaching passion and winsome personality, the author, Ayodeji Adesina, discusses how to make practical the three indispensable foundational anchors of the Christian experience: faith, hope, and love. The prayer focus and declarations at the end of each chapter make the content very practical and life-transforming.

“Faith, Hope and Love!” These are the three indispensable foundational anchors in the Christian pilgrimage. It takes faith to know and please the God of hope and love (Rom 15:13; 1 John 4:16). Faith and hope help us to endure the monotony and vicissitudes of life until the Parousia. On one hand, faith breeds hope and love. On the other, love is the root, regulator, and stabilizer of faith and hope. Faith and hope work best through love. Love is the greatest, giving unlimited worth to humans (1 Cor 13:13). The supremacy of love is indubitable. Without love, nothing else matters!

Paul observed that prophecies, tongues, and knowledge fail, cease, and vanish away (1 Cor 13:8). As enviable as they are, they are also transitory. So are the other attention-getting gifts and ephemeral abilities that people pride themselves in, within and outside the Church (1 Cor 12). As good as they are, by themselves, they would not ensure the thriving of the believers and their communities. In fact, without the necessary accompaniment of faith, hope, and especially love, these evanescent gifts from God will corrupt absolutely. On the contrary, the three graces of Faith, Hope and Love remain: exalted and purified! They are far superior. They are always needed in this present age, and shall not fail, cease and vanish away in the eternal age.

Pastor Ayodeji Adesina has captured the essence of these must-have predominant principles in this treatise. This book is well-researched and doctrinally sound. His illustrations are down-to-earth and captivating. The book is awesome as a devotional for Christian growth.
