CCC 1814

Faith is the theological virtue by which we believe in God and believe all that he has said and revealed to us, and that Holy Church proposes for our belief, because he is truth itself. By faith "man freely commits his entire self to God."⁷⁸ DV 5. For this reason the believer seeks to know and do God's will. "The righteous shall live by faith." Living faith "work(s) through charity."⁷⁹ Rom 1:17; Gal 5:6.
