The fruit of the Spirit begins with love. There are nine graces spoken of,
and of these nine Paul puts love at the head of the list; love is the first
thing, the first in that precious cluster of fruit. Someone has said that
all the other eight can be put in terms of love.
Joy is love exulting.
Peace is love in repose.
Longsuffering is love on trial.
Gentleness is love in society.
Goodness is love in action.
Faith is love on the battlefield.
Meekness is love at school.
Temperance is love in training.
If we only just brought forth the fruit of the Spirit, what a world we
would have! Men would have no desire to do evil.
Dwight L. Moody
