Even St. Paul, the recovering Pharisee, from whom we get all our prejudice against works, knows that faith must express itself in action. He is eager to give us the further gift of his own life, which is eternal. But life is not a gift you can stick in your pocket, much less put in the bank. We can only receive the gift of life by living it. We can only receive the gift of the divine life by living that life.
Love is the substance of the divine life.
