Faith Works By Love

"For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision
availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision;
but faith which worketh by love.."
Galatians 5:6

Paul was speaking concerning righteousness
that is given by God.
It's not a matter of being circumcised or being
uncircumcised.
These accomplished nothing.
Only faith, working by love, means anything.

The Greek for "working" is where we get our
word "energy".
The Amplified Bible translates it as "faith
activated and energized and expressed and
working through love."
This love is the love of God working in us
and through us to reveal His righteousness.
Only faith working through love is able to
bring it about.

Faith without love is meaningless.

Paul said, "Though I have all faith, so that
I could move mountains, but have not love,
I am nothing"
1 Corinthians 13:2

Faith can move mountains, but if we don't
have love at work in us, then it doesn't make
any difference.
