Bottom Quote by Peter Kreeft
“Faith is the root, the necessary beginning. Hope is the stem, the energy that makes the plant grow. Love is the fruit, the flower, the visible product, the bottom line. The plant of our new life in Christ is one; the life of God comes into us by faith, through us by hope, and out of us by the works of love.”

![“Love is faith's flower, hope is its stem. Grace comes into us by faith, like water through the roots of a tree. It rises in us by hope, like sap rising through the trunk of a tree. And it matures in us by [love] as fruit matures on a tree's branches, fruit for the neighbor's eating.” quote by Peter Kreeft](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/97e/peter-kreeft-820_branches_love-is-faith-s-flower-hope-is-its-stem_1546325.jpg)
