Love and Faith- Philip Vivirito (choice 2)


I brought up in my last blog that I have been studying the concepts, and said that love comes from God. That we understand his love by faith. So does that mean faith and love have to intercorrelate? When studying love I have determined that in order to love God we need to have faith in God. That being said it works the other way too; if we love God we have faith in God. We can apply this relationship to our own lives as well. If we love a person we have faith in that person to love us back. Our nature to love is based on a mutual relationship of trust. The Greek for trust is Pistis, which was used in the New Testament to describe faith. Our love bonds us to a person; in this case our faith in God bonds us to love Him. So is there an instance when you don't love God and He doesn’t love you back? God will always love His people, so we just need to have faith in Him.
