121. Faith separate from love or charity is like the light of winter, in which all things on the earth are torpid, and nothing belonging to harvest, to fruits and blossoms, is produced; but faith [conjoined] with love or charity is like the light of spring and summer, in which all things blossom and are produced, nos. 2231, 3146, 3412, 3413. The wintry light which is that of faith separated from charity is changed into thick darkness when light from heaven flows in; and those who are in that faith then come into blindness and stupidity, nos. 3412, 3413. Those who separate faith from charity, in doctrine and life, are in darkness, and consequently in ignorance of truth, and in falsities, for these are darkness, no. 9186. They cast themselves into falsities, and from them into evils, nos. 3325, 8094. The errors and falsities into which they cast themselves, 1108, 4721, 4730, 4776, 4783, 4925, 7779, 8313, 8765, 9224. The Word for them is closed up, nos. 3773, 4783, 8780. They do not see, and do not attend to, all those things which the Lord so often spake concerning love and charity, and concerning their fruits, that is, goods in act, concerning which, nos. 1017, 3416. Neither do they know what good is, nor consequently what heavenly love is, nor what charity is, nos. 2417, 3603, 4136, 9995. Faith separate from charity is no faith, nos. 654, 724, 1162, 1176, 2049, 2116, 2343, 2349, 3419, 3849, 3868, 6348, 7039, 7342, 9783. Such a faith perishes in the other life, nos. 2228, 5820. When faith alone is accepted as a principle, truths are contaminated by the falsity of the principle, no. 2435. Such persons also do not suffer themselves to be persuaded, because it is against their principle, no. 2385. Doctrinals concerning faith alone destroy charity, nos. 6353, 8094. Those who separate faith from charity were represented by Cain, Ham, Reuben, by the first-born of the Egyptians, and the Philistines, nos. 3325, 7097, 7317, 8093. Those who make faith alone saving, excuse an evil life, and those who lead an evil life have no faith, because they have no charity, nos. 3865, 7766, 7778, 7790, 7950, 8094. They are inwardly in the falsities of their evil, although they are not aware of it, nos. 7790, 7950. Wherefore good cannot be conjoined to them, nos. 8981, 8983. In the other life they are opposed to good, and opposed to those who are in good, nos. 7097, 7127, 7317, 7502, 7545, 8096, 8313. The simple in heart and yet wise, know what the good of life is, and thus what charity is, but not what a separated faith is, nos. 4741, 4754. All things of the Church have relation to good and truth, and consequently to charity and faith, nos. 7752-7754. The Church is not with a man until truths are implanted in his life, and thus have become the good of charity, no. 3310. Charity constitutes the Church, and not faith separated from charity, nos. 809, 916, 1798, 1799, 1834, 1844. The Internal of the Church is charity, nos. 1799, 7755. Wherefore there is no Church where there is no charity, nos. 4766, 5826. The Church would be one, if all were looked upon from charity, although men might differ as to the doctrinals of faith and the rituals of worship, nos. 1285, 1316, 1798, 1799, 1834, 1844, 2385, 2982, 3267, 3451. How much good there would be in the Church if charity were regarded in the first place, and faith in the second, nos. 6269, 6272. Every Church begins from charity, but in process of time turns aside to faith, and at length to faith alone, nos. 1834, 1835, 2231, 4683, 8094. At the last time of the Church there is no faith, because there is no charity, no. 1843. The worship of the Lord consists in a life of charity, nos. 8254, 8256. The quality of worship is according to the quality of charity, no. 2190. The men of the external Church have an Internal, if they are in charity, nos. 1100, 1102, 1151, 1153. The doctrine in the Ancient Churches was the doctrine of life, which is the doctrine of charity, and not the doctrine of a separated faith, nos. 2385, 2417, 3419, 3420, 4844, 6628, 7259-7262. The Lord inseminates and implants truth in the good of charity when He regenerates a man, nos. 2063, 2189, 3310. Otherwise the seed, which is the truth of faith, cannot take root, no. 880. Goods and truths then increase, according to the quality and quantity of the charity received, no. 1016. The light of a regenerate person is not from faith, but from charity through faith, no. 854. When a man is being regenerated, the truths of faith enter with the delight of affection, because he loves to do them; and they are reproduced with the same affection, because the two cohere, nos. 2484, 2487, 3040, 3066, 3074, 3336, 4018, 5893. Those who live in love to the Lord, and in charity towards the neighbour, lose nothing to eternity, because they are, conjoined to the Lord; but it is otherwise with those who are in a separated faith, nos. 7506, 7507. A man remains such as is his life of charity, not such as his separated faith is, no. 8256. All the states of delight of those who have lived in charity, return in the other life, and increase immensely, no. 823. Heavenly blessedness flows from the Lord into charity, because into the very life of a man; but not into faith without charity, no. 2363. All are regarded in heaven from charity, and no one is regarded from a separated faith, nos. 1258, 1394. All in the heavens are also associated according to their loves, no. 7085. No one is admitted into heaven by thinking good, but by willing it, nos. 2401, 3459. Unless doing good is conjoined with willing good and thinking good, there is no salvation; nor is there any conjunction of the internal man with the external, no. 3987. In the other life none receive the Lord and faith in Him, except those who are in charity, no. 2343. Good is in a perpetual desire and effort therefrom of conjoining itself with truths, and consequently of conjoining charity with faith, nos. 9206, 9207, 9495. The good of charity acknowledges its own truth of faith, and the truth of faith, its own good of charity, nos. 2429, 3101, 3102, 3161, 3179, 3180, 4358, 5807, 5835, 9637. Hence there is a conjunction of the truth of faith and the good of charity, concerning which see nos. 3834, 4096, 4097, 4301, 4345, 4353, 4364, 4368, 5365, 7623, 7627, 7752, 7762, 8530, 9258, 10555. Their conjunction is like a marriage, nos. 1904, 2173, 2508. The law of marriage is for two to become one according to the Word of the Lord, nos. 10130, 10168, 10169. Consequently also faith and charity, nos. 1904, 2173, 2508. Wherefore faith which is faith, as to its essence is charity, nos. 2228, 2839, 3180, 9783. As good is the Esse of a thing, and truth the Existere from it, so also charity is the Esse of the Church, and faith the Existere from it, nos. 3049, 3180, 4574, 5002, 9154. The truth of faith lives from the good of charity; consequently, a life according to the truths of faith is charity, nos. 1589, 1947, 2572, 4070, 4096, 4097, 4736, 4757, 4884, 5147, 5928, 9154, 9667, 9841, 10729. There can be no faith except in charity, and if faith is not in charity, there is no good in it, nos. 2261, 4368. Faith with a man is not living, when he only knows and thinks the things belonging to faith; but when he wills them and from willing does them, no. 9224. There is no salvation by faith, but by a life according to the truths of faith, which life is charity, nos. 379, 389, 2228, 4663, 4721. Those are saved who from the doctrine of the Church think that faith alone saves, if they do what is just for the sake of justice, and what is good for the sake of good; for thus they are still in charity, nos. 2442, 3242, 3459, 3463, 7506, 7507. If a mere faith of the thought would save, all would be saved, nos. 2228, 10659. Charity constitutes heaven with a man, and not faith apart from it, nos. 3513, 3584, 3815, 9832, 10714, 10715, 10721, 10724. In heaven all are regarded from charity, and not from faith, nos. 1258, 1394, 2401, 4802. The Lord's conjunction with a man is not by faith, but by a life according to the truths belonging to faith, nos. 9380, 10143, 10153, 10310, 10578, 10645, 10648. The Lord is the tree of life, the goods of charity are the fruits, and faith the leaves, nos. 3427, 9337. Faith is the lesser luminary, and good the greater, nos. 30-38. The angels from the Lord's celestial kingdom do not know what faith is, so that they do not even name it; but the angels from the Lord's spiritual kingdom speak of faith, because they reason concerning truths, nos. 202, 203, 337, 2715, 3246, 4448, 9166, 10786. The angels in the Lord's celestial kingdom say only, Yea, yea, or Nay, nay; but the angels of the Lord's spiritual kingdom reason whether a thing is so or not so, when the conversation is concerning the spiritual truths which belong to faith, nos. 2715, 3246, 4448, 9166, 10786; where the Lord's words are explained: "Let your discourse be, Yea, yea, Nay, nay; what is beyond these is from evil" (Matt. v. 37). The celestial angels are of such a quality because they apply the truths of faith immediately to the life, and do not first store them in the memory, as is done by the spiritual angels; for this reason the celestial angels are in the perception of all things belonging to faith, nos. 202, 585, 597, 607, 784, 1121, 1387, 1398, 1442, 1919, 5113, 5897, 6367, 7680, 7877, 8521, 8780, 9915, 9995, 10124. The trust or confidence, which in an eminent sense is called saving faith, exists only with those who are in good as to life, consequently, with those who are in charity, no. 2982, 4352, 4683, 4689, 7762, 8240, 9239,-9245. Few know what that confidence is, nos. 3868, 4352. What difference there is between believing those things which are from God, and believing in God, nos. 9239, 9243. It is one thing to know, another to acknowledge, and still another to have faith, nos. 896, 4319, 5664 1/2. There are things of faith which are scientific, things of faith which are rational, and things of faith which are spiritual, nos. 2504, 8078. The first thing is the acknowledgment of the Lord, no. 10083. All which flows in with a man from the Lord is good, nos. 1614, 2016, 2751, 2882, 2883, 2891, 2892, 2904, 6193, 7643, 9128. There is a persuasive faith, which nevertheless is not faith, nos. 2343, 2682, 2689, 3427, 3865, 8148. From various chains of reasoning it appears as though faith were prior to charity, but this is a fallacy, no. 3324. From the mere light of reason it may be known that good, and consequently charity, is in the first place, and truth and consequently faith, in the second, no. 6273. Good and thus charity, is actually in the first place, that is, is the first thing of the Church; and truth, and thus faith is in the second place, that is, is the second thing of the Church, although it appears otherwise, nos. 3324, 3325, 3330, 3336, 3494, 3539, 3548, 3556, 3570, 3576, 3603, 3701, 3995, 4337, 4601, 4925, 4926, 4928, 4930, 5351, 6256, 6269, 6272, 6273, 8042, 8080, 10110. Among the ancients also they disputed concerning the first, that is, concerning the first-born of the Church, whether it is faith or charity, nos. 367, 2435, 3324.
