LJ 39 - faith and the life of charity

LJ 39 - Section: From the Arcana

They who make faith alone saving,
excuse a life of evil;
and they who are in a life of evil,
have no faith,
because they have no charity.
(AC 3865, 7766, 7778, 7790, 7950, 8094)

They are inwardly in the falsities of their own evil,
although they do not know it.
(AC 7790, 7950)

Therefore good cannot be conjoined to them.
(AC 8981, 8983)

Faith alone,
or faith separated from charity,
is as the light of winter,
in which all things of the earth are torpid,
and nothing is produced;
but faith with charity
is as the light of spring and of summer,
in which they all bloom and are made productive.
(AC 2231, 3146, 3412, 3413)

To know truths,
to will truths,
and to be affected by truths for truth's sake,
that is, because they are truths,
is charity.
(AC 3876, 3877)

Charity consists in an internal affection of doing truth,
and not in an external affection without it.
(AC 2429, 2442, 3776, 4899, 4956, 8033)

Therefore charity consists in performing uses for the sake of uses,
and its kind is according to the uses.
(AC 7038, 8253)

Charity is a person's spiritual life.
(AC 7081)
