What Counts?

February 15th, 2009 9:40 PM

Paul wrote Galatians 5:6 (NIV)
⁶For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love.

If we want to do what counts then we have to get this "love thing" down. If we mess that up we are trouble.

Beginning Sunday, Feb. 15 I will be speaking on expressions of love that some mistakenly refer to as the "fruits" of the Spirit. My thought is that since Paul used the singular word "fruit" and since there was no punctuation in the Greek language, Paul was saying that there is only one fruit of the Spirit and it is love. The 8 words that follow the word "love" are how love expresses itself. It does it through joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.

On Feb. 15 I spoke on Patience---Enduring Love.
