Faith, hope, and love are three pillars in the Kingdom of God. Of these love is the greatest. But even greater than love is obedience. If we are not obedient to God, then we do not have genuine love for God. The fact that Christ said, "If you love Me, keep My commandments" does not seem to phase the preachers of "love.".As Catholic Christians, we don't "hope" the Trinity is true. We "believe" that it is infallibly so by a divine assent of faith rooted in the promise and power of Jesus Christ. But we do have to "hope" that we will finally be saved because that is when we Christians and our free choices enter the picture. Absolute certainty is no Begin studying God's Word for yourself to find out about this connection and how to live it. When you bring love and faith together, your entire outlook will begin to shift, and you'll begin to view the world through God's eyes!

For guidance. All. Father of all, in Jesus Christ you open to us the treasures of your kingdom; guide us by your Holy Spirit that we may receive your redeeming grace and reflect the perfect unity of your love, for you live and reign Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
The noun, "faith" is πίστις and the verb is πιστεύω. It means to trust or believe what God has said. A believer has the assurance of salvation and eternal life because He believes God will do what He has said. It is really that simple. Christ has done all the work of salvation. Our part is simply to believe God. We do nothing. We believe.
