In I Corinthians chapter 13 the Apostle Paul writes,"Meanwhile these three remain, faith, hope and love, but the greatest of these is love". Since the Christians Under the Stairs Youth Group has been discussing "grace" and our year's theme is "Christian friendship", we raise a new question ...faith, grace, friendship ... these three, which is most significant?
Friendship - we are all influenced by people and who better to influence us than our true friends. True friends introduce us to new things which better ourselves such as the grace of God and faith. Plus we know true friends will lead and support us.
Tayna and Michael Gebhardt, Ariel Durgana and Marcia Gebhardt, members of Christians Under the Stairs youth group and one mom.
Faith - because without faith we really can't be a friend (close) to God. If we are not a friend to God then our relationships to others can't reach a meaningful, high plateau. Additionally having faith makes it easier to pass on God's grace.
