Faith and love are inseparable in the Christian life. Galatians 5:6 tells us that “The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love.” True faith doesn’t just believe in God’s promises—it flows into action, demonstrated through love for Him and for others.
Love is the foundation of our faith because God Himself is love (1 John 4:8). His love was made clear when He sent Jesus to save us, showing us what sacrificial, unconditional love looks like. When we trust in His love, our faith grows deeper, and we are inspired to share that love with the world around us.
Living a life of faith means loving even when it’s hard—loving those who are difficult to love, forgiving when we don’t feel like it, and showing kindness when it’s undeserved. These acts of love are not powered by our own strength, but by the Spirit of God working within us.
Faith in love means trusting that God’s love never fails, even in our darkest moments. It means believing that His love is strong enough to heal, restore, and redeem. As we abide in His love, our faith is strengthened, and His light shines through us.
Question to Ponder:
How can your faith be expressed through love today, both for God and for others?
Prayer:
Lord, thank You for the gift of Your love that never fails. Teach me to trust in Your love and to express my faith by loving others as You have loved me. Help me to forgive, to be kind, and to reflect Your grace in my actions and words. Let my faith be rooted in Your love, so that I may bring glory to You. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
“And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.”
1 Corinthians 13:13 (NIV)
