Title: Fruit of the Spirit, Love
Contents
When the Holy Spirit comes upon us, there are two gifts and fruits. Gifts do not appear to everyone and are given according to the needs of the church. However, the nine fruits of the Spirit are revealed to everyone. So Jesus said to know them by their fruits.
The nine fruits of the Spirit are not used in the plural, but in the singular. In other words, it does not bear nine fruits, but there are nine attributes in one fruit.
Today, I am going to talk about love, the first fruit of the Holy Spirit. Here love is agape, devoted and sacrificial love.
Those who belong to the Holy Spirit will love the little ones around us.
Those who belong to the Holy Spirit do not love and do not give what they ought to give, then they feel remorse and hear the voice of the Holy Spirit rebuking them within themselves. To have this kind of reproof is proof that you are a man of the Holy Spirit. Rather than rejecting the inspiration of the Holy Spirit in our hearts, we must obey and grow to bear fruit.
Those who belong to the Holy Spirit love the church, the body of Jesus.
There are many buildings and many organizations on this planet. However, there is only one institution that will be raptured when Jesus returns. A person filled with the Holy Spirit cannot criticize the church. When the church is in trouble, I try to build it up even if I give my all. That is the proof that you are a man of the Holy Spirit.
Those who belong to the Holy Spirit rejoice in living according to the Word.
Ordinary people find it difficult and burdensome to keep the commands of the Lord. But the man of the Spirit rejoices in keeping the commands.
(1 John 5:3) When the Holy Spirit works, the first thing that appears among us is love.
