God is love. Therefore, faith in God is faith in love (which is God’s Spirit). Since true love was revealed in Jesus, who sacrificed His life to free us (who were unfaithful to Him and sinned against Him) from sin; true faith is to believe in this type of love. We would, therefore, be merciful, (Matthew 9:13), compassionate, forgiving (Luke 6:37), humble, gentle, self-controlled, patient, generous, faithful, kind and pure of heart (Galatians 5:24-26). In addition, we would do good acts not because the law requires them, or we are afraid of punishment, or we want to be rewarded; but because we love God.
