"Love"
* The fruit of the Spirit are gifts from God that flow out of the believer and enable us to serve God well. * Galatians 5:22-23a. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self control. * The preeminent fruit of the Spirit is LOVE. * 1 Corinthians 13:4-8a. Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. * The greatest demonstration of love that we have from God is the sacrifice of His only Son, Jesus Christ. * We, as believers, are to practice love toward our neighbors in obedience to one of the two greatest commandments given to us by God.
KEY MESSAGE The Holy Spirit, who indwells every believer, works in our lives to manifest the fruit of the Spirit so that we can be most excellent in our ministry to the world that so desperately needs to know the Truth. |
