Nine Fruits of the Spirit: Love (Robert Strand)

Nine Fruits of the Spirit: Love

Book 4 of 9

Robert Strand, one of the most successful authors in the CBA market, believes that an understanding of the qualities of a Christian deserve a close look. To that end, Strand has developed a nine-book study series on the fruits of the spirit, emphasizing not only that a properly balanced Christian life must include love, joy, peace, patience, etc., but that God will judge us on our willingness to incorporate them into our daily walk. Written in Strand’s famous storytelling style, each book in the series includes study questions and special insights.

Agape (Greek), meaning: God’s fruit of love which gives itself away with a pure motive and most generously.

The golden text of the Bible says, “For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life” (John 3:16). God loved us into His kingdom. The toughest thing about love is being loving to others. Some people are easy to love, but what about those unlovely people, those enemies? Is it possible to love like God loves? It’s impossible for us normal human beings. It can’t be done alone. It can only be done in the power of the Spirit and the transformation of the human spirit.

“But the fruit of the spirit is Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness, and Self-Control” (Galatians 5:22–23)

In these Bible studies from best-selling author Robert Strand, you will learn about yourself and how to relate to others as you gain a deeper understanding of what it means to be in Christ.
