To Become Servants of Love, Loving Every Child of God around us.
The Fruit of the Spirit is Love.
Why are we taught that the Fruit of the Spirit is Love?
Because the Spirit of God Has Come to Make our Daily Life an Exhibition of Divine Power and a Revelation of What God Can Do for His Children.
JOHN 7.17
if anyone may will to do His will, he will know concerning the teaching, whether it is of God, or—[if] I speak from Myself.
MATTHEW 5.39-44
but I say to you not to resist the evil, but whoever will slap you on your right cheek, turn to him also the other; and whoever is willing to take you to law, and to take your coat—also permit to him the cloak. And whoever will impress you one mile, go with him two; to him who is asking of you be giving, and him who is willing to borrow from you, you may not turn away. You heard that it was said: You will love your neighbor, and will hate your enemy; but I say to you, love your enemies, bless those cursing you, do good to those hating you, and pray for those accusing you falsely, and persecuting you,
LUKE 12.33
sell your goods, and give alms, make to yourselves bags that do not become old, a treasure unfailing in the heavens, where thief does not come near, nor moth destroy;

Blessed [is] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who, according to the abundance of His kindness begot us again to a living hope, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ out of the dead, to an incorruptible inheritance, and undefiled, and unfading, reserved for you in the heavens, who, in the power of God are being guarded, through faith, to salvation, ready to be revealed in the last time,

and this good news of the kingdom will be proclaimed in all the world, for a testimony to all the nations, and then will the end arrive.
Christian Experience Proceeds as It Began, not on the basis of our own work But Always On That of the Finished Work of Another.
Every New Spiritual Experience Begins with an Acceptance By Faith of What God Has Done – with a New Sitting Down.
The Christian Life is Lived by Laying Hold of God’s Word, Trusting That He is Faithful and Righteous.
Whatever He Says, So Is It.
But not all Believers are carnal.
We Thank and Praise the Lord for the many among His Children who are Spiritual.
When they Pray, their Purpose is not so selfish as to be satisfied if the Lord will only Answer their Prayer in Supplying their personal needs.
They also Pay Great Attention to the Glory and Will of God.
They Expect Him to Answer their Prayer not because they only want to get something for themselves but because additionally He Will Be Glorified in the Answer to their Prayer.
When we gather together all the attributes of God – His Infinity, His Perfection, His Immensity, His Majesty, His Omnipotence – and Consider Them but as the Rays of the Glory of His Love, we still fail in forming any conception of what That Love must be.
It is a Love that Passeth Knowledge.
Draw Near To Him!
He Desires our Worship!
Yet how hard we find it to drag ourselves into His Presence!
You cannot Serve God from a distance.
Come Nearer.
It is your Privilege.
