We all know the ten Commandments, Obey your father and mother, do not covet, etc. And we all know the fruit of the spirit; Love, Joy, Peace, patience, Kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self control. But, did you know that the Bible says that thou shall love thy neighbor as thy self, and the fruit Love, are the most important of these?
Love is the most important fruit, because through love, you can find joy, you'll have peace with others, you find patience so much easier, kindness comes with love, like a toy comes with a happy meal, love is Gentle, you tend to be more faithful, and you show allot more self control!!! And the Bible states that love is the most important. I doesn't exactly say it the most important fruit, but it does say... "And above all these, put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony." *colossians 3 :14*
Other than loving God with all your heart, soul, strength, and mind, the most important law and command is You shall love your neighbor as yourself, "the commands, you shall not commit adultery, you shall not murder, you shall not steal, you shall not covet, and any other commandment, are summed up in this word: *you shall love your neighbor as your self" love does no wrong to a neighbor; therefor love is fulfilling the law." *Romans 13:9-10*.
if you love your neighbors as yourself, and remember that love is sacrificial action, then you wont disobey any of the commands. so as you see, love is the most important thing in the know universe, and beyond!
That is very true! Good job! I am so happy that you are able to recognize these things! It means that your faith is growing!
