RIGHTEOUSNESS: Unselfishness in disposition, desire or deed. That which con- forms to the moral nature of God.

LOVE: Regarding the well-being of others, as much as, or more than your own.

Fulfilling of the law.

HOLY: Separate from sin, set apart. Singularly devoted to divine interests. MERCY: Not requiring the payment that is due. Not giving or receiving the punishment that is deserved.

GRACE: Freely-given favor, even unto enablement. Giving or receiving something that is good and undeserved.

FAITH: Ascribing credit to something or someone, and acting on it. Belief that is acted upon. Biblically speaking, one does not truly believe unless he acts on it.

HOPE: Confident expectation of a particular outcome. Desire accompanied by anticipation.

HEART: Inward source of what one is thinking, feeling, and wanting. The inner- most awareness that results from the collective input of the intellect, will and emo- tions. (Same as the Biblical usage of the term “mind,” with an emphasis on the emotions.)

GLORY: Two separate ideas: 1) A showing forth of who and what someone is (often in the form of light as used by God to demonstrate His presence); 2) Credit given with praise to someone for who they are, or for what they have done.

JOY: An inward sense of delight. Contentedness not subject to temporal circum- stance, but rather the Spirit’s inward ministry upon the heart.
