The Bible declares that without faith it is impossible to please God; and Jesus proclaimed that if we just had the least amount of faith, we could see mountain-moving miracles. In light of this, I am stunned as I think of these words: Faith, Hope, Love, these three; but the greatest of these is love! Moreover we are admonished in our faith-life not to forget that though we have all faith so that we could remove mountains, without love we are nothing!
We must believe God, we must have faith in Him through Jesus Christ; but we are called to go beyond that, we are called to demonstrate our faith by living like Jesus did. When asked what the most important rule of of life to follow was, He said, to love God with all your heart, mind, soul, and strength. This, He said, is the greatest commandment, adding that the second most important rule is similar to it: love your neighbor, too!
We betray our hypocrisy when we fail to love, but we prove our faith when we follow the Son and share His love with those around us.
