NOW

1 Corinthians 13:12 - 13 (NASB) ¹²For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face; now I know in part, but then I will know fully just as I also have been fully known. ¹³But now faith, hope, love, abide these three; but the greatest of these is love.

Now our vision is cloudy, partial and limited because we DON’T KNOW EVERYTHING. We can’t know everything now. We have to accept that there are mysteries, deep mysteries that are beyond our comprehension now.

We can know everything that God has laid out in His Word, now. We can understand that when He says unity, peace, faith, love, hope, joy, etc. are qualities we should be exhibiting, that He means now…here on this earth.

It’s all practice for heaven. What’s the point in understanding deeper mysteries unless we can be obedient in what He has clearly laid out for us in His Word? So now, some things will be fuzzy. We accept, by faith, because of His incredible love demonstrated in the gift of His Son, Jesus Christ, that He has our best interest at heart, now.

NOW…faith, hope and love are here. They are our operating parameters. Of these, love, as laid out in 1 Corinthians 13 and demonstrated by Jesus Himself, is the greatest.

Believe His Word. Obey His Word. Love. NOW.

SEEK FIRST THE KINGDOM…
