Teaches us to pray, v. 26. d. Intercedes, v. 27. B. L. S. The F ru it of the Spirit The fruit of the Spirit is love, Gal. 5:22. 1. A revelation of the method of Chris tianity in the use of fruit. a. Fruit pre-supposes life; it is an opera tion in the realm of life. b. Fruit implies cultivation: John 15:1 ,2,5; Heb. 12:6,11. c. Fruit suggests sustenance: God is hungry for love ' from men. Hos. 11:8 is the cry of love. God call ing to Adam in the Garden after the fall was not so much that of an arresting policeman, but the an guished voice of a loving Father who has lost, his only child. God is hun gry for the fruit of love. Thus we are brought to: 2. The revelation of Christianity, which is love! a. Christianity revealed in one word. b. Everything following love is an in terpretation and explanation of love. c. An analysis of love. Joy is love’s consciousness. Peace is love’s confidence. Long-suffering is love's habit. Gentleness is love’s ac tivity. Goodness is its quality. Faith fulness is its quantity. Meekness is its tone. Temperance is love’s vic tory. How can we love so as to have these re sultant effects? 3. The revelation of the dynamic of Christianity, the Spirit. a. By the Spirit we receive life. b. Are empowered. c. Are cultivated unto Christian per fection. S. E. N.

The M ean ing of the Cross Gal. 6:14 To the Jew, the cross was a stumbling block; to the Greek, foolishness. 1. In the cross, we have the fullest and highest revelation of God: a. It reveals the height of the holiness of God. b. It reveals the width of the justice of God. It reveals the depth of the love of God. 2. The cross is the instrument of man’s moral and spiritual recreation: a. Paul repudiates the old order of things and offers the cross as the only means of man’s spiritual re creation. b. Every other means that has been tried for the spiritual transformation of man has failed. c. It is the power of God unto salvation. 3. The cross is the emblem of true Chris tian discipleship: a. If any man will be my disciple, let him take up his cross daily and fol low me, said Jesus. It is more than a cross on a neck lace or pin. We can wear these and be as disloyal as Judas. Paul: “ I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live . . Note Heh. 13:12,13. 4. Through such an experience one enters into the wonderful joys of fellowship with the risen Lord. Gal. 1:15,16. Phil. 3:7-14. The W o r h of the Godhead in Itegard to God’ s Children Romans 8 The Father: j a. Sent His Son, v. 3. b. Is for us, v. 31.
