A life filled with the Spirit of God bears the fruit of love. If you are controlled by the Spirit of God, rather than attempting to live perfectly according to the Law of God, then love is a reasonable expectation of you because love is the overflow of God’s Spirit within you. And as you love, the love you express will produce love in others.

From Series: "Laws Of Fruit"

Laws govern every major area and system of life. We have laws relating to justice, education, immigration, finance, and family. There are laws of aerodynamics, anatomy, physics, nature, and science. These and other laws communicate a grand design that has been created by a Divine Creator. The work of the Holy Spirit is no different. God has created orderly laws to govern and guide our lives. These laws are defined as the Fruits of the Spirit. Galatians 5:22-23 says; “The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.” Like many laws, the Laws of Fruit that are these fruits of the Spirit, cannot be rivaled or reimagined. There are no other laws that can counter this accepted and undisputed truth. Understanding and applying these laws is essential to your overall growth and pursuit of peace in this life. As we look at each fruit of the Spirit, showing the significance it has in your life, you’ll be able to come and see that living in light of these Laws Of Fruit will help you confront strongholds, rise above adversity, and honor God.
