Love Believes All Things

1 Corinthians 13:4-7 ASV Love suffereth long, and is kind; love envieth not; love vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, [...] (6) rejoiceth not in unrighteousness, but rejoiceth with the truth; (7) beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
Romans 5:5 KJV And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.

1.0.0 Justifying Faith

Genesis 15:6 KJV And he believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for righteousness.

Justifying Faith is something unique.

It is often explained in terms of ordinary, commonplace, well-known entities: "belief", "trust", "faith".

But Justifying Faith is something completely different.

Romans 5:1-5 KJV Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: […] (5) And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.

Justifying Faith produces an abundant supply of Committed Love.

1 Corinthians 13:4-7 ASV (4) Love suffereth long, and is kind; love envieth not; love vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, (5) doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not its own, is not provoked, taketh not account of evil; (6) rejoiceth not in unrighteousness, but rejoiceth with the truth; (7) beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.

Committed Love believes all that God would have us believe.
