Daily Devo | Fruit of the Spirit - Love (Holiday Replay, 1 Corinthians 12:31-13:3)

In this holiday replay from July 8, 2024, we consider God's agape love -- the first fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23). This love is very different from all the other kinds of love that we might experience. But in order to understand it and share it with others, we must first receive it ourselves. It is a fruit of the Spirit, not our own efforts!

We will resume new devotionals in the new year that track with our congregational read-through of the New Testament.

For Reflection:

Love is the most excellent way, the first fruit of the Spirit -- perhaps the fruit from which all others spring. God's "agape" love is the measure of all things!

- How has God's love challenged your previous or false notions of what love is? Can you remember a time when you first began to understand how different God's love is?

- Where have you seen or experienced God's love, or gained a clearer vision of what it is? What might help you to receive it more completely and share it less reservedly?
