The fruit of the Spirit is love

Bagster's Daily Light - March 1 - Morning

The fruit of the Spirit is love.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 1

So we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him. 2

and hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us. 3

So the honor is for you who believe, but for those who do not believe, "The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone," 4

We love because he first loved us. 5

For the love of Christ controls us, because we have concluded this: that one has died for all, therefore all have died; and he died for all, that those who live might no longer live for themselves but for him who for their sake died and was raised. 6

Now concerning brotherly love you have no need for anyone to write to you, for you yourselves have been taught by God to love one another, 7

"This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. 8

Above all, keep loving one another earnestly, since love covers a multitude of sins. 9

And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God. 10
