Galatians 5:6 Faith working through Love

 

 

Galatians 5:6

    For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything, but only faith (4102-persuasion i.e. credence; conviction of religious truth or the truthfulness of God or a religious teacher, reliance upon Christ for salvation,  gospel, truth itself, assurance, belief, believe, faith, fidelity) working through love (26-affection or benevolence, charity, dear, love).

 

To work through love is to work from a principle of love. If we love God, we seek to please him, do his will. The faith in God leads to the love of God because he loved us. Love to man leads us to do good to man. A faith that works by love leads one too do the will of God and to do good to his fellow men.
