Paul's act of faith has enabled him to share in the faith of Jesus, the faith that expressed itself in self-giving love.

What I will argue is that, throughout the New Testament, faith, as a practice, is about faithfulness even to the point of suffering and death; love, as a practice, has a distinctive, Christlike shape of siding with the weak and eschewing domination in favor of service; and hope, as a practice, means living peaceably (which includes nonviolently) and making peace. Thus the summary triad "faithfulness, love, and peace" is appropriate.

for Paul the cross is the quintessential, unified act of loyalty to God and love for others—what Paul, like Jesus, understands to be the essence of the Jewish Law, the covenant obligations for God's people to love God and neighbor.8 This perspective will form the foundation of Paul's understanding of the appropriate human response to the gospel—a unified response of faith and love—as God's way of forming a (new) covenant community.
