Why is faith important for receiving Christ's special love?

Answered in 1 source

Faith is crucial because it honors Christ and aligns believers with His will, resulting in a deeper experience of His love.

Faith plays a central role in the relationship between Christ and His followers. It is through faith that believers express trust in God's promises, as exemplified by figures like Abraham who did not waver at the promises of God (Romans 4:20). This kind of faith that acts in obedience and trust brings about a closer intimacy with Christ and engenders His special love in their lives. The scripture teaches that faith must be accompanied by a willingness to act, as shown in the lives of those who honor Christ through their actions. Therefore, believers seeking Christ’s extraordinary love must cultivate their faith consistently, allowing it to rise to the challenge of obedience and service according to God's call.
