working definitions for these are as follows:
faith- an active, confident dependence on God’s character
hope- an active, confident expectancy of God’s blessing in the future
love- choosing and desiring the very best for another regardless of outcome or cost. (this only works when we define the “very best” as God’s glory)
i spend a lot of time thinking about the definitions of things. i feel it makes them easier to apply them to my life and also to measure when i get around to applying.
