Fruits of the Spirit Series "Love"
What are the fruits of the Spirit? Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self control. Nine different attributes that "born again" Christians should be producing in their spiritual walk with Christ. Why is this important? Well, depending on your beliefs, this is the framework to making sure you're on the right path in your life. I want to break these fruits down individually and today I want to call to the stand, Love. As a child growing up, I was always told to love everybody no matter what. Through the hate and wrong doing, love. Lies and back stabbing, love. That was the motto. But why? Why is loving people so important? Isn't it easier to just treat them the way they treat you? Hate me? Well I hate you too! It's a lot easier that way but that's not how Christ intended for life to be. With that being said, lets break down "love" and see exactly why it's needed.
