Colossians 1:3 We always thank God, the Father of our Lord Jesus

Christ, when we pray for you, 4 because we have heard of your

faith in Christ Jesus and of the love you have for all the saints— 5

the faith and love that spring from the hope that is stored up for

you in heaven and that you have already heard about in the word

of truth, the gospel 6 that has come to you. All over the world this

gospel is bearing fruit and growing, just as it has been doing among

you since the day you heard it and understood God’s grace in all

its truth. - (NIV84)

Galatians 5:4 You who are trying to be justified by law have been

alienated from Christ; you have fallen away from grace. 5 But by faith

we eagerly await through the Spirit the righteousness for which we

hope. 6 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision

has any value. The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself

through love. - (NIV84)

The three ingredients we can’t do without

1. Everything in creation is modeled after God’s nature

2. Examples of the three-fold nature in God’s economy

3. Love never fails because Agape is the hub of creation

4. In all that God created He engaged faith in His Word

5. Hope is the trust that see’s God’s work completed
