Love is the active, working principle in all true faith. It is its very soul, without which it is dead. "Faith works by love."

Dictionary of Burning Words of Brilliant Writers (1895)

Love is no ingredient in a merely speculative faith, but it is the life and soul of a practical faith... A speculative faith consists only in the assent of the understanding, but in a saving faith there is also the consent of the heart.

Charity and Its Fruits (1738)
