Please see the following website for scriptures pertaining to Love, Faith and Hope.

HOPE

Where do we as FatherGod’s Children get our Hope for a better future? Let’s make a wild guess and say from our FatherGod’s Holy Word – yes! Congratulations we are Correct! [Romans 15:4] For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.

Please note that As FatherGod’s Children, there are many wonderful promises given to each of us in the Holy Word of Our loving heavenly Father. HIS Word includes a promise for everything that we HIS Children require to live a life of ‘Heaven On Earth.’ HE has given us promises (i.e., Hope) for All Spiritual Blessings, Complete Protection, Wonderful Financial Prosperity, Victorious and Successful Living, Long Happy Healthy Life including the Very Best of Every Good Thing to enjoy. Please see Appendix A below for supporting scriptures.

Any promise we read in FatherGod’s Holy Word is there for us to immediately appropriate for our profit and use at this very moment and also on a moment by moment, day by day basis, in order that we may live a more abundant life as Heaven on Earth. We can appropriate each promise through our prayer and thanksgiving whenever we desire or require them. However, in order to appropriate each of the promises we must use our faith, patience and love. [Hebrews 6:12] That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises. [Galatians 5:6] For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love.

Please see the articles entitled “Receiving FatherGod’s Promises/Blessings Today“ also, “Becoming More Like Christ/Messiah” at the following websites to better understand how to receive our inheritance.


It is important to realize that everything now belongs to us as FatherGod’s Children; Join Heirs with Christ/Messiah; and Members of the Living Spiritual body of Christ/Messiah. EVERYTHING IS ALREADY PAID IN FULL BY OUR LORD CHRIST/MESSIAH. ALL THAT REMAINS IS FOR US TO RECEIVE OUR INHERITANCE. I WILL SAY IT AGAIN! ALL THAT REMAINS IS FOR US TO RECEIVE OUR INHERITANCE

Let’s look at the following example, which shows: (1) how to obtain Hope for Healing or Perfect Radiant Divine Health and (2) how to apply Faith to our Hope. The basic principle in this example can be applied to any promise from FatherGod.

First, we read a promise in FatherGod’s Word regarding healing such as. [1Peter 2:24] Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed. [Matthew 8:17] That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses.

As we contemplate these and perhaps other healing related scriptures, such as those in Appendix B below, we suddenly have Hope for healing or Perfect Radiant Divine Health. FatherGod always does the absolute best in everything HE does, therefore, HE does a complete and perfect healing and does not heal or restore a person’s leg and leave their eye and arm damaged. Now we are full of hope!
The next question is “After we have Hope what’s next?” the answer is “Faith for our Hope which in this example is our Hope for Healing or Perfect Radiant Divine Health”!

FAITH

Second, please carefully read and think about the Faith related scriptures in Appendix C. They explain that: Faith gives substance to our Hope; Faith comes by hearing the Word of FatherGod; HE has given us HIS Children the measure of Faith and expects us to live by Faith; Faith is outwardly expressed by our thoughts, words and deeds; Faith works or is energized by Love; Faith always gives a good report regarding possession of FatherGod's promises; and FatherGod expects us to use our Faith along with our Patience to receive and manifest HIS promises in our physical lives.

LOVE

Please see the following website for a detailed discussion of Love.


You are greatly loved by Our Loving Heavenly FatherGod (FatherLove) and our savior.lord.brother Christ/Messiah. FatherLove and Christ/Messiah live within each of you and you are FatherLove's very best masterpiece! (Colossians 1:27, Ephesians 2:10).

Love to each of you from Love, Faith & Hope Fellowship. [1Corinthians 13:13] And now abideth faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
