Faith embraces Christ for righteousness and salvation as He is held out to us in the promises of the Gospel. When faith rests in God and in Christ with delight, desire and satisfaction, it is called love.

His love: Like Himself, Like the Sun
"The love of God is like himself. His love is the same for all he has chosen to love. His love is constant and not capable of being increased or diminished. Our love is like ourselves, never the same, but increasing or decreasing, growing or declining. God's love is like the sun, always the same in its light, though a cloud may sometimes hide it. Our love is like the moon. Sometimes it is full. Sometimes it is only a thin crescent." John Owen, Communion with God pp.23-24
