Now these three abide – faith, hope, and love. If Christ be not raised, your faith is in vain, and you are dead in your sins. But since Christ is raised from the dead, He will also raise your body by the power of his spirit. He shall return to make all things right, and we shall live with him forever in glory. We live out of this hope…and we die with this hope.
