THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT “ The fruit o f the Spirit is love . . (Galatians 5:22). I. FRU IT: THE METHOD OF CHRISTIANITY 1. You cannot produce fruit apart from life. a. The works of the flesh (vv. 19-21) spell death. b. The fruit is love, which springs out of life. 2. Neglect a tree and the fruit will degenerate. a. The vine in Isaiah 5:1-7 re fused to respond to the cul tivation of God and brought forth wild grapes. b. The branches in John 15 are pruned by the Father, that they may bring forth more fruit. 3. God hungers for your love. II. SPIRIT: THE DYNAMIC OF CHRISTIANITY 1. It is the Spirit who communi cates the life principle and cul tivates the life. 2. It is not my meditation or my determination, but the indwell ing Spirit who brings perfect harmony with God. 1. The last nine things listed all describe the first. “ The fruit of the Spirit is love: joy, peace, longsuffering. . . .” Take love away and you lose all the rest; have love, and you have the rest. 2. Joy is cheerfulness, insured only by love. 3. Peace means end of conflict, brought about by love. 4. Longsuffering means long-tem- peredness, the habit of love. 5. Gentleness means kindness and usefulness in service, the na ture of love. 6. Goodness is just goodness — created only by love. 7. Faith or faithfulness means staying at a thing, the outcome of love. 8. Meekness is the gentleness of real humility and love. 9. Temperance is self-control, mo tivated by love. 10. Thus, joy is love’s conscious ness, peace is love’s confidence, long-suffering is love’s habit, kindness is love’s activity, good ness is love’s quality, faithful ness is love’s quantity, meek ness is love’s tone, self-control is love’s victory. — G. Campbell Morgan III. LOVE: THE ISSUE OF THE CHRIST-LIFE
