Passage:Galatians 5:22-23

Preacher: Rick Blackwell

Detail:

Galatians 5:22-23 ESV

(22) But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness,

goodness, faithfulness,

(23) gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.

1 John 4:7-21 ESV

(7) Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever

loves has been born of God and knows God.

(8) Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love.

(9) In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his

only Son into the world, so that we might live through him.

(10) In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent

his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

(11) Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.

(12) No one has ever seen God; if we love one another, God abides in us

and his love is perfected in us.

(13) By this we know that we abide in him and he in us, because he has

given us of his Spirit.

(14) And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the

Savior of the world.

(15) Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him,

and he in God.

(16) So we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us.

God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides

in him.

(17) By this is love perfected with us, so that we may have confidence for

the day of judgment, because as he is so also are we in this world.

(18) There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to

do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love.

(19) We love because he first loved us.

(20) If anyone says, "I love God," and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he

who does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot love God whom

he has not seen.

(21) And this commandment we have from him: whoever loves God must

also love his brother.

1 Corinthians 13:1-8 ESV

(1) If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a

noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.

(2) And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all

knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have

not love, I am nothing.

(3) If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but

have not love, I gain nothing.

(4) Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant

(5) or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful;

(6) it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth.

(7) Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all

things.

(8) Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues,

they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away.

1. God is Love - 1 John 4:8, 16

2. Love is the manifestation of God’s personality traits in our

yielded lives. - 1 Corinthians 13:4-8

3. God’s love forever sets us free from the fear of

condemnation and rejection. 1 John 4:16-19
