9245. The fact that those alone possess faith who lead lives in keeping with the prescriptions of faith is the Lord's teaching in John,

Light has come into the world, but men preferred darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. Everyone who performs evil deeds hates the light and does not come to the light lest his deeds should be exposed. He however who does the truth comes to the light, so that his deeds may be clearly seen, because they have been wrought in God. John 3:19-21.

'Coming to the light' means attaining faith in the Lord, thus attaining faith from the Lord. The like is taught by Him in Luke,

Why do you call Me, Lord, Lord, and do not do what I say? Everyone who comes to Me, and hears My words and does them, is like a man building a house, who laid the foundation upon rock. But one who hears and does not do [them] is like a man building a house on ground without a foundation. Luke 6:46-end.

'Those who do the Lord's words' are people who love their neighbour and love the Lord; for one who loves also does, John 14:20-21, 23-24; 15:9-17.
