The fruit of thr Sprint, Gal. 5:22!

The Bible says that "God is love." Paul list nine fruits of the Sprint. These fruits are LOVE, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Keep in mind that these are the fruits of the Sprit of God. Since "God is Love" (1 John 4:8) the other eight fruits flow from Love therefor these are the fruits of His very being. This first posting will deal with Love, 1 Cor. chapter 13. Because God is Love, Love is the ultimate purpose and meaning of life. If you are the President of of the United States or a janitor do your job out of love for God and those that you serve. Love is not something different from life. Just as our bodies die without food our souls die without Love(God). They exist forever but they can not live without Love(God), 1 John 4:8. Jesus died that we might be saved and that we may learn to love as He has loved us. Accept Him as your Savior and you will not only exist, but you will live forever (John 3:16). May god bless and you, now and to eternity.

God is Love

We speak of Love as if it (He) is one of many things/persons. Love is not a thing and "it" is not one of many, Because God is Love, 1 John 4:8. Now that we have established that God is Love. We need to be clear that we are not talking about love without justice. It will not be alright for all mankind in eternity. The exception to His love is evil/sin. My understanding of hell is much much worse than just being physically burned. I believe that the most horrible aspects of hell will be the absence of God, the love of others, and of yourself. The one thing that God will not and cannot do is to violate his nature. Overlooking sin would voliate his nature and destroy all that is holy. That is why He can not allow unrepentant sinner into Himself, He is Love. He has given us no greater expression of his Love than the death of Crist our Savior on the Cross and his ressurrection from the dead that we may live forever more. God bless you for now and to eternity.
