4766 Faith without love is dead....
October 26, 1949: Book 54
If you fulfil My commandments of love then you will also attain living faith, yet without love your faith is dead. Works which are done with unselfish love are strength-giving, and this strength expresses itself in a faith which believes everything to be possible and thereby also makes everything possible. You must always remember that love is strength, thus an activity in love always results in an influx of strength. You must remember that love is something divine, that you attract Me Myself if you are lovingly active.... If I am close to you then the soul knows this, even though you, as human beings, are not aware of it, and this presence of Mine also gives the soul the certain feeling of help.... and this certain feeling is faith, a faith which is convinced, thus it is alive. Through love you attract Me and, since I Myself am love, it is understandable that I do everything for you, that I grant you everything you request and expect from Me in strong faith. And thus your faith is strength again, for you oppose Me with your faith which, so to speak, forces Me to act as you expect, because I have promised you that a firm faith will achieve everything. Through loving activity you win Me and My love.... Love never fails itself, and if you seriously consider the depth of My love, the conviction will also grow in you that you are children of this love, and then your faith will also be alive and you will be able to move mountains, because then you will make use of My strength which enables you to do whatever you want. But you will never be able to believe alive if you are not active in love. Faith without love is dead, it is without strength, without life, it is only a word but no concept. Love alone enlivens it, because I Myself am love and thus present to you....
Amen
