First, a disclaimer. These are not my thoughts, but my impressions and ideas from sitting in on one of Jess's grad classes.
On the categories of Faith, Hope, and Love:
Faith is primarily a category of the past; a category of memory. It is remembering the redemptive work that has been done in our past.
Hope is primarily a category of the future and the yin/yang of Faith. It is, in one sense, a memory of the future. Remembering the redemptive work that will be done in our future. (My brain hurts.)
And Love is a category of the present. If God is love, and God has no past nor future, then this makes sense to me. Love is choosing to be in this moment of suffering of heartbreak of loss of joy of peace of LOVE.
