In Paul’s letter to the church at Corinth he stressed loving others. In the final chapter he says, “Do everything in love.” When a disciple sees the depths of God’s love for them it pushes them to seek holiness and as they become more holy the Holy Spirit takes up a greater portion of their heart. The Spirit then produces the fruit of love in ever-increasing quantities. The disciple learns the meaning of love through their walk with Jesus as the Holy Spirit takes their knowledge of God’s Word and causes them to do for others as they wish others would do for them. They not only love other believers but they grow in love for the unlovely. By God’s power they see others through the eyes of God and treat them with kindness, compassion. Godly wisdom guides their daily action. They developed into people who are not just heares of the Word but doers as well.
