Charity, the highest form of love, is the reciprocal love between God and man that is made manifest in unselfish love for others.
It is the last and the greatest of the three theological virtues; the other two are faith and hope. While it is often called love and confused in popular understanding, charity is more than a subjective feeling or even an objective action of the will toward another person. Like the other virtues, charity is supernatural in the sense that God is both the origin and object of charity.
1 Corinthians 13:13 "Three things will last forever—faith, hope, and love—and the greatest of these is love."
