The Fruit of The Spirit is Love.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love. I like what it says best in the Benson Commentary which says the source of all the other fruits. 

The kind of love that is talked about in this verse is Agape. This type of love is unselfish, sacrificial, and unconditional. 

God is all 4 types of love in the Bible. God is love, especially this one.

He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. 1 John 4:8 KJV

This means we must love Jesus/God, fellow believers, family, friends, and everyone on earth.

Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. 1 John 4:11 ESV

Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God. 1 John 4:7 ESV

“This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. John 15:12 ESV

God is love and all about love we know this from John 3:16 (KJV) which says:

6 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 

The Bible is riddled with love and that God loves us and is love.

But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8 KJV

For God created all things and one of those is love.

For everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving, 1 Timothy 4:4

Think of things that are agape kind of love?

Do you show agape love or some other kind of love every day? 

Who are you not showing agape love to?

Think and meditate on these things and make changes if necessary!
