Translating Faith

A quote from a very nice contemplation at a church (re)Wired by Andrew Prior. Please read the whole. Its quite short.

"'Loving God' is not about belief in some set of propositions. It's about living right. Not living right to be good enough for 'God,' but as a response- as a thanksgiving for life. It's about treating the creation well; people, plants, animals, rivers, the air the earth and the sea. 'Faith,' in a Christian context, is acting on the trust that the stories of Jesus point us to 'God' and to 'what God wants.'"


I would add the word "just" in the first sentence before the word "about".
