These two words are so often used as nouns. I guess that is legit - but I worry that it sometimes leads to stagnation.
Faith is not only something that you get at one point in your life as a gift from Jesus...which too often proceeds to rust and fade away. Faith is in fact, an action that you undertake everyday with the help of the Holy Spirit to persevere under the trials of a fallen world. We must live by faith every day! Romans 1:17
In a likewise manner, love is so often characterized as an emotive feeling..."being in love" and such. I think there is true validity in looking at love as a state of ones emotions. However, it might be more beneficial to see love as an ongoing commitment even when that place of happy feelings is elusive. Love is afterall, the greatest verb. 1 Corinthians 13:13
