The Topic of Teenagers Open Heavens for Monday 17 Th July 2023 Is “Love Is a Virtue”
Read: Galatians 5:22-26
[22]But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
[23]Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
[24]And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
[25]If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
[26]Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.
Memorise: Matthew 22:39b
Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
Love is the first fruit of the Spirit listed in our text for today.
I believe it’s because love enables the child of God to develop the other fruit of the Spirit.
The fruit of the Spirit has its root in the Holy Spirit, this invariably means that anyone who doesn’t have the Holy Spirit may not find it easy to love others genuinely.
When we reflect on the different ways God expresses His love to us daily, we will be grateful and reciprocate His love by loving Him and the people around us.
Christ, as our perfect example, has shown us that the presence of the Holy Spirit in the life of a child of God will make him/her express love even when he/she is not loved back.
The Bible says that while we were yet sinners, Christ loved us and died for us (Romans 5:8). This means that love is unconditional; there is no condition attached to loving others.
You may say that love is reciprocal, so you will only love those who love you and hate those who hate you; well, this is not the perfect kind of love endorsed by God.
