Last year, we corresponded about your post on LinkedIn, so I . Audio Transcript Faith and hope — we need them both. But what exactly is the difference between them? It’s a new question today, and it comes from Kelly in Chickamauga, Georgia. “Pastor John, I share your passion for the intentionality of words. I have a question about two words in Scripture — namely, faith and hope. First Peter 121 says that Christ’s work was so that your faith and hope are in God.’ My initial understanding was that faith is rooted in past grace — namely, the cross. But hope is rooted in future grace, specifically the revelation of Jesus 1 Peter 113. However, Hebrews 111 and 1 Peter 121 seem to define faith as something rooted in the future, while also distinguishing it from hope. So, Pastor John, can you help me understand the distinction then between faith and hope?” Well, I’m glad Kelly shares my enthusiasm for the intentionality of words because I really believe words are dumb things until a meaner gives them an intention. So, that’s a good way to ask the question, and there are few things I think about more than the nature of faith and hope and how they relate to each other in the Christian life. So this is right in my present wheelhouse. I love thinking about this. Here’s my understanding of the similarity and difference between biblical faith and biblical hope — and that’s really important to say biblical because the world has all kinds of meanings that they give to faith and hope. And I just want to ask, “What does the Bible mean by saving faith and hope?” Hope Future Confidence Hope, as it is used in the Bible for the distinctive experience of Christian hope, is always a confidence concerning the future. It’s a confidence, not a finger-crossing wish. So that separates the Christian hope from most other uses of hope in the English language. Romans 55 says, “Hope does not put us to shame.” It is rock-solid, sure. You can be confident. That’s Christian hope, and it’s always future-oriented. A key text would be Romans 824–25 “In this hope we were saved. Now hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for what he sees? But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience.” When we say that hope does not see what it hopes for, the reason it doesn’t see it is because it hasn’t happened yet. It’s future. “We wait for it with patience.” So that’s the distinctive mark of hope it is always future-oriented and consists in a firm confidence of what we are hoping for — not just a wish. Faith Personal, Treasuring Trust Now faith, on the other hand, is the bigger concept. It includes everything that we say biblically about hope, but it is more. Now that probably is going to surprise a lot of people. It’s a risky statement — that everything we can say about hope is in faith, but that it’s more. But I think that’s a true statement. I think it’s fair to say that biblical hope is biblical faith in the future tense. If you are focusing on faith as a faith that something will happen in the future, it is virtually the same as biblical hope. But faith involves more than confidence that something that God has promised will happen in the future. It is that; that’s why I say hope is in faith — it’s part of what faith is. But it’s more. “Biblical hope is biblical faith in the future tense.” The main distinction between Christian faith and Christian hope is that faith is in a substantial way a trusting relationship with a person. Faith says to Christ, “I trust you, not just your promises. You are a reliable person. You are a trustworthy person.” Now, that trust may often be future-oriented. We may mean in that moment, “I trust you to keep your word about this afternoon, taking care of me.” That’s faith, and it’s hope. But in a specific moment, that trust doesn’t have to mean something future-oriented. It might mean that Christ has just said, “I died for you two thousand years ago. I bore your sins, John Piper, two thousand years ago. I absorbed my Father’s wrath for you two thousand years ago.” And I, listening to that, look him in the eye and say, “I believe you. I believe you. I trust you” — meaning, “What you have just said about the past I believe.” Hope doesn’t say that. Of course, that has massive implications for future life, right? But faith isn’t only future-oriented; it is person-oriented in a significant way. And the mark of the relationship with the person is trust — a receiving, treasuring trust. But beyond this distinction, the Bible presents hope in God and faith in God in ways that are scarcely distinguishable. Tasting Coming Joy For example, when Psalm 42 says, “Hope in God,” I have leaned on this in my discouragement so many times. “Hope in God, John Piper. You shall again praise him, your help and your God.” That act — what the psalm is calling me to do — of hoping in God in the midst of my trouble is hardly distinguishable from trusting God. Hope in that psalm is, I would argue, virtually identical to faith in God as it relates to the future. Now, Hebrews 111 is the place where we see this interweaving of faith and hope as close as they get, perhaps. It says, “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for.” And, yes, I do think substance rather than assurance is the most helpful, accurate translation. That would require another podcast to give a reason for why that is and how the word hypostasis is used elsewhere in Hebrews. That’s another issue, but just go with it for now. I think that’s the right translation. Here’s what I think it means. It speaks “of things hoped for.” In other words, there’s a reality in the future that God has promised and, in some measure, has revealed to us as precious — worth living for, worth dying for. And we are hoping to obtain it. That is, we have strong confidence that God will grant us this great blessing of experiencing fully what we are now hoping for in the future. “Faith is the experience of the substance of future reality known, believed, tasted, and cherished now.” Now, Hebrews 111 says that the substance of that future thing hoped for — that future reward or blessing — some substantial, essential element of it is experienced now in what he calls faith. Faith is the experience of the substance of that future reality known, believed, tasted, and cherished now. Let me illustrate that with Hebrews 122. The writer says, “Jesus . . . for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame.” So God has assured Jesus that on the other side of the cross, on the other side of suffering and death, there would be a great joy to inherit. He could see it just over the horizon, and he hoped for it. And in that sense, it was one of those things hoped for from Hebrews 111. I would argue that in the garden of Gethsemane, and even on the cross, Jesus was sustained — he endured — by tasting already the substance of that thing hoped for. He tasted something of that future joy that was set before him. And Hebrews 111 calls that experience faith. So, I would say in Hebrews 111 it is virtually impossible to completely distinguish faith and hope. The one is part of the other. Faith and Hope Forever Let’s look at one last text to show how close faith and hope are in the New Testament. Paul says in 2 Corinthians 56–7, “We know that while we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord, for we walk by faith, not by sight.” So one dimension or element of faith is that it embraces as real things you can’t see — like the risen Lord Jesus. And Paul says, “We are away from the Lord. He’s in heaven; we’re on earth. We can’t see him. But though we can’t see him, we love him. We trust him.” We walk by faith, not sight. But that does not mean that when we do see him face-to-face at the second coming, we won’t walk by faith anymore. Only one dimension of faith is replaced by sight. Not every dimension of faith is replaced by sight. We will still trust him in heaven. We will still feed on him as the living bread in heaven. And the same can be said of hope. We walked by hope and not by sight. And yet, when sight is finally gained, not all hope will disappear. Heaven will forever be a place of faith and a place of hope because there will always be a future in heaven, a future to hope for, and there will always be Christ to trust. He will always be the feast of our hearts. In summary, then, hope is faith in the future tense. And everything that can be said about hope biblically can be said of faith. But faith is more than hope because it involves trust in a person, which may have a backward dimension as well as a forward dimension. arti i hope love girl?1. arti i hope love girl?2.

And I hope you came back again itu artinya apaan?? dan aku berharap kamu akan kembali lagidan saya harap Anda datang kembali lagi As virtues, faith, hope, and love have long been celebrated. Some Christian denominations consider these to be three theological virtues — each representing values that define humankind's relationship with God himself. Faith, hope, and love are discussed individually at several points in the Scriptures. In the New Testament book of 1 Corinthians, the apostle Paul mentions the three virtues together and then goes on to identify love as the most important of the three And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love. 1 Corinthians 1313, NKJV This key verse is part of a longer discourse sent by Paul to the Corinthians. Paul's first letter to the Corinthians aimed to instruct and correct young believers in Corinth who were struggling with matters of disunity, immorality, and immaturity. Since this verse extols the supremacy of love over all other virtues, it is very often selected, along with other passages from the surrounding verses, to be included in modern Christian wedding services. Here is the context of 1 Corinthians 1313 within the surrounding verses Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, 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. 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 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. And now these three remain faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. 1 Corinthians 134-13, NIV Faith Is a Prerequisite As believers in Jesus Christ, it is essential for Christians to understand the meaning of this verse. There's no doubt that each of these virtues — faith, hope, and love — has great value. In fact, the Bible tells us in Hebrews 116 that, "...without faith, it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God, must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him." NKJV The value of faith cannot be disputed. Without it, there would be no Christianity. Without faith, we couldn't come to Christ or walk in obedience to him. Faith is what motivates us to move forward even when the odds are against us. And faith is closely related to hope. The Value of Hope Hope keeps us moving forward. No individual can imagine life without hope. Hope fuels us to face impossible challenges. Hope is the expectation that we will obtain what we desire. Hope is a special gift given by God through his grace to combat the day-to-day monotony and the most difficult circumstances. Hope is there for the single mom who doesn't know how she is going to feed her children and keep a roof over their heads. She might give up, if not for the hope that a breakthrough is right around the corner. Hope is the invisible hand that holds up the head of a desperate prisoner of war so that he can see the light of day. Hope hangs on to the promise of a Savior who is coming to set him free. Hope encourages us to keep running the race until we reach the finish line. The Greatness of These Is Love The Bible states that love is greater than both faith and hope. We couldn't live our lives without faith or hope without faith, we cannot know the God of love; without hope, we would not endure in our faith until we meet him face to face. But in spite of the importance of faith and hope, love is even more crucial. Why is love the greatest? Because without love, the Bible teaches there can be no redemption. In Scripture we learn that God is love 1 John 48 and that he sent his Son, Jesus Christ, to die for us — a supreme act of sacrificial love. Love is what motivated God the Father to send His only Son to die for us. Thus, love is the virtue upon which all Christian faith and hope now stand. For the believer, love is the foundation for every good thing in our lives. Without love, nothing else matters. Iman, harapan, dan kasih..... Pertama, saya akan membahas mengenai iman. Walaupun saya adalah orang awam, namun saya percaya bahwa kita semua, umat beragama, pasti memiliki iman kepercayaan masing-masing. Entah itu yang beragama Kristiani, Islam, Hindu, Buddha, pasti diajarkan untuk beriman kepada Tuhan Yang Maha Esa. Iman itulah yang menjadikan kita sebagai pedoman hidup untuk terus bertahan di tengah-tengah kerasnya kehidupan di dunia ini. Tanpa adanya iman yang kuat, kita pasti mudah untuk terjerumus ke dalam dosa, yang malah akan merugikan diri kita sendiri dan orang lain di sekitar kita. Kedua adalah harapan. Harapan ini seringkali ditujukan untuk Tuhan kita berupa doa permohonan. Seperti saat kita gagal mendapatkan apa yang kita inginkan, kita secara sadar maupun tidak sadar akan membatin atau mengatakan Tuhan, bukan ini yang saya inginkan. Saya menginginkan hubungan yang harmonis, cinta yang sejati, usaha yang lancar, dan sebagainya. Ya, harapan adalah keinginan kita. Terakhir adalah yang terpenting dari semuanya. Cinta kasih. Kalau yang ini pasti semuanya sudah bisa mendefinisikan apa itu cinta. Heheheee... Ada yang bilang, cinta itu rumit. Semakin dipikirin, semakin bikin otak melilit. hahaha.. Tetapi, buat yang sudah menjalin bahtera rumah tangga atau buat pasangan muda-mudi yang sedang kasmaran, pasti akan mengatakan bahwa cinta itu manis. Semanis dirinya di hatiku.. wakakakaa.. Memang benar, cinta dapat membuat segalanya berbeda. Suasana yang dingin dan kaku, dapat menjadi hangat jika ada cinta di dalamnya. Entah itu cinta dalam keluarga, persahabatan, maupun dalam hubungan berpacaran dengan lawan jenis. Karena ini adalah bagian terpenting, mungkin saya akan sedikit sharing tentang pengalaman pribadi saya. Dia itu sosok yang berbeda dibandingkan dengan pria lainnya yang saya kenal. Saya mengenal dirinya saat di bangku kuliah, tepatnya dalam sebuah organisasi paduan suara universitas. Awalnya sangat manis. Pastinya.. Dan itu adalah momen yang tidak akan pernah terlupakan. Kami jadian tanggal 22 Agustus 2008. Sehari sebelum kami mengikuti kompetisi paduan suara di salah satu institut negeri di daerah Bandung. Waktu berjalan, memang tidak semudah yang kami kira. Setahun kemudian, masalah pertama mulai mewarnai kehidupan cinta kami. Dia sempat menyerah dan berniat untuk putus dari saya, namun saya terus meyakinkan dirinya untuk bertahan dan menyelesaikan masalah itu baik-baik. Permasalahan yang kami hadapi saat itu tidak ada hubungannya dengan orang ketiga. Dia hanya stres karena ada masalah dalam sidang skripsinya. Saya bisa merasakan bahwa dia hanya perlu ditenangkan emosinya. Akhirnya kami berhasil menjalin cinta kami kembali setelah saya memperjuangkannya. Selang waktu berlalu, dirinya pun akhirnya diwisuda dan ternyata masalah kembali datang di kehidupan cinta kami. Sebulan setelah dirinya diwisuda, saya yang saat itu masih sangat labil, mulai mempertanyakan keseriusan dan komitmennya. Dia tidak menepati janji untuk ketemuan, dan saya memaksanya untuk datang ke kosan saya. Ternyata dia datang, dan tepat malam itu hujan sangat deras. Saya merasa sangat sangat bersalah padanya. Dia membuktikan janjinya. Namun dia menjadi sangat marah kepada saya...dan meminta saya untuk putus saat itu juga.. Saya sangat menyesal dan berniat ke rumahnya malam itu juga untuk minta maaf. Kakak-kakaknya pun sampai ikut mendukung keputusan saya, karena saya memang sudah dekat dengan keluarganya. Saya dibantu oleh kakak iparnya, menginap di kamar kakak iparnya tanpa sepengetahuan dirinya, dan menulis surat untuk diselipkan di pintu kamarnya. Paginya, saya berusaha untuk berbicara empat mata dengannya. Awalnya dia tidak mau bertemu dengan saya, namun akhirnya dia mau membicarakan masalah kami berdua. Pendek kata, kami berbaikan kembali.. Untuk yang ketiga kalinya, dia meminta saya untuk putus lagi. Kali ini lebih ekstrem, karena saya memperjuangkan keutuhan cinta kami sampai ke Garut, Jawa Barat. Memang, setelah kami baikan untuk yang kedua kalinya, kami mengalami apa yang disebut Long Distance Relationship LDR. Saat dia minta untuk putus, saya sedang KKN Kuliah Kerja Nyata di daerah Semarang, sedangkan dia kerja di Garut. Saya langsung bela-belain ke Garut seorang diri, hanya untuk meng-clear-kan permasalahannya. Saya memang belum pernah ke Garut, dan hal itu yang membuat teman saya, bahkan sahabat saya, mencegah keberangkatan saya ke sana seorang diri. Namun tekad saya sudah bulat. Saya benar-benar ingin membuktikan bahwa rasa sayangnya saya ke dirinya tidak main-main. Sesampainya di Garut, dia terlihat begitu kaget saat saya ada di depan kosannya. Saya pun segera membicarakan penyebab mengapa dia meminta putus. Ternyata hanya satu, sangat klise, dia bosan. Dia tetap bersikukuh untuk putus dengan saya saat itu juga. Rasa sakit, lelah, dan kecewa, saya tumpahkan di depan dia, yang ditutup dengan kata maaf dan ciuman di kening saya. Sinetron banget yah.. Tapi itu benar-benar saya alami. Sejak saat itu, saya akui, sangat sulit untuk bangkit dari rasa kecewa. Tapi dari peristiwa itu, saya mulai belajar untuk lebih mendekatkan diri pada Tuhan saya, Tuhan Yesus Kristus. Kemudian saya mendapat salah satu ayat dari Alkitab, yaitu 1 Korintus 13 1 - 13. Awalnya saya tertarik karena salah satu dari ayat tersebut membicarakan tetntang yang namanya "KASIH". Melalui ayat tersebut, saya merasa bahwa saya diingatkan kembali atau lebih tepatnya ditegur olehNya. Ternyata saya merasa bahwa saya masih sangat kurang dalam mencintai pasangan saya. Arti mencintai tidak hanya sekedar "aku sayang dia", tetapi juga ada pembelajaran yang harus diperdalam kembali sebelum kita benar-benar siap untuk menjalin huibungan yang lebih intim dengan lawan jenis. Berikut ini adalah sepenggal dari ayat yang terkandung dalam 1 Korintus 13. Kasih itu sabar; kasih itu murah hati; ia tidak cemburu. Ia tidak memegahkan diri dan tidak sombong. Ia tidak melakukan yang tidak sopan dan tidak mencari keuntungan diri sendiri. Ia tidak pemarah dan tidak menyimpan kesalahan orang lain. Ia tidak bersukacita karena ketidakadilan, tetapi karena kebenaran. Ia menutupi segala sesuatu, percaya segala sesuatu, mengharapkan segala sesuatu, sabar menanggung segala sesuatu. Kasih tidak berkesudahan. Saat membaca sepenggal ayat tersebut, saya sadar, masih ada banyak sekali kekurangan pada diri saya. Seringkali saya sulit memaafkan apa yang telah diperbuat oleh dia, terutama hal-hal yang menyakiti hati saya. Padahal jelas-jelas Tuhan mengajarkan kita untuk tidak menyimpan kesalahan. Saya juga akui bahwa saya terkadang menjadi sangat marah apabila dia tidak menepati janjinya pada saya. Jujur, saat itu saya merasa bahwa saya memang saat itu belum pantas untuk mengasihi dirinya. Masih ada banyak kekurangan dari diri saya. Masih belum sempurna 1 Kor 13 9. Mungkin, Tuhan Yesus saat ini memberikan jalan yang terbaik untuk saya dengan cara putus, supaya saya belajar untuk menjadi pribadi yang lebih baik lagi dalam mengasihi pasangan saya nantinya. Iman, harapan, dan kasih. Tanpa adanya iman yang kuat, bisa saja saya berpikir untuk melukai diri saya sendiri. Tanpa adanya harapan untuk terus hidup, saya bisa saja menjadi orang yang sangat depresi, bahkan gila. Dan tanpa adanya cinta kasih dari sahabat, teman, dan tentu saja, Tuhan Yesus Kristus, saya tidak akan bisa move on seperti sekarang ini. Cinta kasih memberi pengaruh yang sangat besar di dalam hidup saya, bahkan dalam hidup Anda. Apa yang akan terjadi jika tidak ada cinta dari orang-orang yang menyayangi Anda dengan tulus? Dunia ini memang jahat. Saya akui itu. Tinggal bagaimana cara kita untuk melawan kejahatan itu dengan cinta kasih yang kita miliki? Ampuni dia yang sudah menyakiti hati dan perasaan kita Berdoa dan berharap yang terbaik padaNYA Beriman dan percaya pada janjiNYA Selalu berserah diri kepadaNYA Point pertama memang terdengar sangat sulit untuk dijalankan. Tapi percayalah, tidak ada yang mustahil bagiNYA! Kita pasti mampu mengampuni dia dan menggantikan posisi dirinya dengan orang yang lebih baik dari dirinya. Mengapa? Karena rencana Tuhan selalu lebih indah dari yang kita kira! Ini adalah secuil proses pendewasaan diri. Semua proses itu adalah hujan dariNYA. Pelangi akan selalu hadir saat hujan reda.. Itu adalah janji Tuhan. Dan janjiNYA adalah kekal, setia, selamanya. Amin. Tuhan memberkati kita semua. Question Answer First Corinthians 12 talks about spiritual gifts, which are distributed by the Holy Spirit 1 Corinthians 124. Thus one Christian may receive one type of gift while another receives a different gift. Chapter 13 goes one step further and mentions the three gifts that are common for all Christians faith, hope, and love. Verse 13 says, “And now these three remain faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.” In stating that faith, hope, and love remain, Paul does something interesting and unexpected he uses a singular verb for a compound and therefore plural subject. His statement in 1 Corinthians 1313 could be literally rendered “faith, hope, and love remains.” Paul’s point is that, essentially, faith, hope, and love are united; what happens to one happens to all. And what happens is that they “remain.” The fact that faith, hope, and love remain must be understood in light of the broader context. Paul had just listed another set of three gifts that would not remain “Where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away” 1 Corinthians 138. So, the passage contains a contrast three gifts of the Spirit that will cease, and three gifts that will never end. Faith, hope, and love will always remain. The Corinthian church members were priding themselves on the fact that they could speak in tongues and demonstrate other attention-getting gifts. Paul reminds them of “the most excellent way” 1 Corinthians 1231—the way of love. The gifts that the Corinthians so desired were but temporary; faith, hope, and love, the foundational gifts, are permanent and therefore more to be desired. Faith, hope, and love are gifts in the present age, and they will still be gifts in the age to come. The NLT translates the promise this way “Three things will last forever—faith, hope, and love.” It’s easy to see how love will last forever, since love is an essential part of God’s nature 1 John 416. But what about faith and hope? Those two gifts will likewise last forever. Faith in the Son of God will not cease in the eternal state; we will not stop trusting Jesus just because our faith has become sight. If anything, our trust in Him will grow greater. Similarly, our hope will not cease just because our blessed hope has come. Our lives will continue in the eternal state, as will our expectation of other things in an infinite sequence of adventure. As commentator Alexander MacLaren explained, “That Future presents itself to us as the continual communication of an inexhaustible God to our progressively capacious and capable spirits. In that continual communication there is continual progress. Wherever there is progress there must be hope. And thus the fair form . . . will move before us through all the long avenues of an endless progress, and will ever and anon come back to tell us of the unseen glories that lie beyond the next turn, and to woo us further into the depths of heaven and the fulness of God” MacLaren Expositions of Holy Scripture, 1 Corinthians. Faith, hope, and love are the three gifts that will be ours throughout all eternity. And agape love is the ultimate gift. God in His goodness gives us the privilege of possessing these gifts today, and we look forward to having them remain with us forever.
