AC 1873
. . . good works are the fruit of faith
in the external sense or that of the letter,
but that these good works have no life
unless they proceed from charity;
and that thus the fruit of faith
in the proximate interior sense is charity.
But as charity or love toward the neighbor
ought to proceed from love to the Lord,
this love is the fruit of faith in the internal sense;
and as all love is from the Lord,
it is the Lord Himself.
For thus in the good work is charity;
in charity is love to the Lord;
and in love to the Lord is the Lord Himself.
