       So, the first Fruit of the Spirit we are looking at is love. Love is foundational to all of our actions. We are to do all things that we do in life through an attitude to love. Paul told us the most excellent way we could live life is doing all things through love, and this is no matter what we do (see 1 Corinthians 13). Any work for the Lord we are doing day-to-day, any ability God has given us, any step of faith that we take, all is to be done through love. Even sacrifice in our lives needs to have love in it. Legalism and asceticism are not part a proper equation for us. If we live like monks, we aren’t exercising love in our lives. Without doing things through love, we really do not get anything out of life, and others around us just aren’t helped. Love is greater for us than any faith that we have, and even greater than our hopes for ourselves and others for the future.
