2. What is faith?

It is the evidence of things
we cannot yet see

I live by faith in the Son of God,

… without faith it is impossible
to please God

though now for a little while you may have had to

honour when Jesus Christ is revealed

12. Love must be the priority
If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but
have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a
clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and
can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if
I have a faith that can move mountains, but have
not love, I am nothing.
Living with Love

13. Love must be the priority
If I give all I possess to the poor
and surrender my body to the flames,
but have not love, I gain nothing
1 Cor 13:1-3
Living with Love

14. Love must be practical
Dear children,
let us not love with words or tongue
but with actions and in truth
1 John 3:18
Living with Love

15. Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy,
it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude,
it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it
keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not
delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It
always protects, always trusts, always hopes,
always perseveres – 1 Cor 13:4-7
Living with Love

16. Love must be practical
A new command I give you: Love one another.
As I have loved you, so you must love one
another. By this all men will know that you are
my disciples, if you love one another.
John 13:34-35
Living with Love

17. Love is permanent
Love never fails. But where there are
prophecies, they will cease; where there are
tongues, they will be stilled; where there is
knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in
part and we prophesy in part, but when
perfection comes, the imperfect disappears.
Living with Love

18. Love is permanent
When I was a child … When I became a man …
Now we see but a poor reflection as in a
mirror; then we shall see face to face.
Now I know in part; then I shall know fully,
even as I am fully known
1 Cor 13:8-12
Living with Love

19. And now these three remain:
faith, hope and love.
But the greatest of these is love
1 Cor 13:13
Living with Love

20. We remember before our God and Father your
work produced by faith,
your labour prompted by love,
and your endurance inspired by hope
in our Lord Jesus Christ
1 Thess 1:3
Living with Love
