FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT PT1.
*📖_But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance, against such there is no law.
The Kingdom of God, to which we belong by redemption, is a Kingdom of principles.
By redemption, our God, The God of all flesh, in His wisdom, endow in us the fruit of the Spirit, for a triumphant Christian adventure.
In part one of this series, we’ll be looking at one of the fruits carefully, the spirit of LOVE .
God is love.
His expression towards humanity is love personified. Anywhere you see genuine love, you see God at work. He loved the whole world and gave His Son… even while we were sinners John 3:16.
The love of God is shared abroad in our hearts by redemption. A genuine believer loves God, His work, and His people. When you love God, you are passionate to see souls saved into God’s house and His Kingdom. When you truly love God, you want to do His will in spite of the challenging circumstances.
Agape love is totally different from the love of this world. When you truly love God, you are selfless and sacrificial towards God and the advancement of His Kingdom. Wait a minute and ask yourself “Do I really love God, and His people? Remember, love is the greatest. When you love God, you will love His people. In I John 4:8 ‘The one who does not love has not become acquainted with God [does not and never did know Him], for God is love. [He is the originator of love, and it is an enduring attribute of His nature.] AMP.
As ambassadors of Christ, we need the love of Christ to function effectively in our every day. You’ll struggle to fulfill your destiny if the love of Christ is not in your heart.
In Mathew 7:17-20″ Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit, but a corrupt tree bringeth evil fruit”.
A good tree can not bring forth evil fruit, and neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth no fourth good fruit is hewn down and cast in the fire.
Wherefore by their fruits we shall know them. What kind of fruits are you bearing as a believer. The love of Christ in you will reflect in the way you deal with your neighbors, colleagues, friends, and strangers.
The love of Christ makes you increase your passion for lost souls and make you an effective witness for Christ. Unbelievers see the love of Christ in your life and want to come to the saving knowledge of our Lord, Jesus Christ. Our God, The God of all flesh, infuses His love into our spirit, so we can reachout to the unsaved.
The love of God in our hearts enhances our CHARACTER , CAPACITY, COMPETENCE and makes you an all-around winner. HALLELUJAH!
