‘Say it with fruit …’ (2)

Galatians 5:22-23

‘the fruit is … love’ the number one fruit in God’s orchard 2 Corinthians 5:14 – it is a new constraint 1 Peter 4:8 – it is a new covering John 13:34 – it is a new commandment Colossians 3:14 – it is a new clothing

‘the fruit is … love’ God loves because he is love God can’t love you any more because he can’t love you any less ‘Love God, and do what you like.’ (Augustine) defining love … ‘eros’ is a sensual love ‘philos’ is brotherly love

‘the fruit is … love’ ‘agape’ is spiritual love – it always seeks the highest good of others best illustrated at Calvary God’s love is everlasting describing love … it has a horizontal dimension sandwiched between 1 Corinthians 12 and 14 love oils the machinery

‘the fruit is … love’ love is desired … it’s about loving others with no strings attached love with skin on – it’s an incarnational ministry see how Jesus loved – Zacchaeus and the woman at Jacob’s Well love is the gold standard ‘the most excellent way’
