Fait+Hope+Love=COMMITMENT, By. ems

FAITH

Hebrews 11:1 [NIV], "Now Faith is being sure of what we Hope for and certain of what we do not see."

Matthew 17:20[NIV],  "Because you have so little Faith. I tell you the truth, if you have Faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there' and it will move. Nothing will be Impossible for you."

HOPE 

Psalm 31:24 [NIV], "Be strong and take Heart , all you who Hope in the Lord"

Jeremiah 17:7-8 [KJV], "Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose Hope the LORD is. For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit."

LOVE

1 Corinthians 13:4–8a [NIV], "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. Love never fails ... "

1 Corinthians 13:13 [NIV], "And now these three remain: Faith, Hope and Love. But the greatest of these is Love."

 

COMMITMENT

Commitment with God
Commitment with your life

Commitment with you wife / husband / child  [God created marriage as something special.  He made it as a covenant between a man and a woman.  He made it to be lasting.  Any activity outside of the marriage covenant is outside of what God intended and will lead to problems.]

Psalm 37:5 [NLT], "Commit everything you do to the LORD. Trust him, and he will help you."

Proverbs 16:3 [NIV], "Commit to the LORD whatever you do, and your plans will succeed."

 Exodus 20;14 [NIV], “You shall not commit adultery."

1 Corinthians 13:9-12 [NIV],  "For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears.When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. For now we see only a 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."
