AC 2227 - loving the Lord; AC 2231 - the doctrine of charity

AC 2227
To be in love to the Lord
is the same as to be in the Lord;
and he who is in the Lord
cannot be otherwise than in His love,
which is toward the human race
and thus toward the neighbor;
thus is he in both kinds of good,
celestial and spiritual.

AC 2231 [2]
In general, there is only one doctrine, namely, the doctrine of charity,
for all things of faith look to charity.
Between charity and faith there is no other difference
than that between willing what is good and thinking what is good
(for he who wills what is good also thinks what is good) . . ..
