Biblical Answer

When love is put to the test in the face of uncertainty, it is put to the test of faith, trust, and surrender. This is because love never fails, and it is the surest test of having life and being in the light (1 Cor. 13:2, 8, 13). When we love others, we are not just loving a feeling or a sentiment, but we are loving with our hearts, souls, and minds. This means that we are putting ourselves out there, vulnerable and exposed, and trusting that God will guide us and give us the strength to carry on.

The social test of love is also relevant here. When we love others, we are not just loving them for who they are, but we are also loving them for who we hope they will become. This means that we are investing in them, and trusting that they will respond positively to our love. This is not always easy, and there are times when we will be disappointed or hurt. But even in those moments, love never fails, and it is the surest test of having life and being in the light.

In the face of uncertainty, love is put to the test of faith, trust, and surrender. We must trust that God will guide us and give us the strength to carry on, even when things seem impossible. We must also trust that others will respond positively to our love, even when they do not. And we must surrender ourselves to God, trusting that He will work all things out for our good. When we do this, we will find that love never fails, and it is the surest test of having life and being in the light.
