“And now faith, hope, and love abide, these three;

and the greatest of these is love.”

(1 Corinthians 13:13 NRSV)

The Apostle Paul appealed three times to God to remove the thorn in his flesh; and the Lord responded, “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is made perfect in weakness.”

Paul declared, “So, I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me.  Therefore I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities for the sake of Christ; for whenever I am weak, then I am strong.” (2 Corinthians 12:7-10 (NRSV)

In Book Two, the reflection of challenges encountered under society’s impact are dealt with by love and grace which are introduced as solutions.
