Faith without charity is no faith, and charity without faith is no charity, and both are lifeless unless the Lord gives them life.

It is perfectly plain from the Epistles written by the Apostles that it never so much as entered the mind of any of them, that the present-day church would have separated faith from charity, alleging that faith alone without the deeds prescribed by the law justifies a person and saves him; and that as a result charity cannot be linked with faith, since faith comes from God, and charity, in so far as it is realised in deeds, comes from man. But this separation and division was introduced into the Christian church at the time when they split the one God into three persons, attributing to each equal divinity. It will be explained in the next section that there is no faith without charity, nor any charity without faith, and both are lifeless unless the Lord gives them life, Here to smooth the path I shall prove that:

(i) A person can acquire faith for himself; (ii) also charity; (iii) and a life of faith and charity, (iv) But still faith, charity or life in either of them is not in the least created by man, but only by the Lord.
