The medieval church distorted the meaning of the end of Galatians 5:6, making works of love produce faith rather than faith outworking itself in love.  Faith energizes the fruit of the Spirit, including more faith, setting off a chain reaction.  There is trench warfare between the flesh and the Spirit.  Conformity to Law can’t save, but when you grab a promise in faith, that puts the energizing force in you that displaces the desires of the flesh and brings alive the new creation in Christ Jesus and the fruit thereof.
