Fruit of the Spirit: Love
Love Others Like Jesus Loves You
Calvary Kids is beginning a 9-week series on The Fruit of the Spirit. Children will learn what each of the fruits of the spirit are and understand that as believers, we will bear fruit when we accept Jesus as Savior and allow the Holy Spirit to transform us into God's image. When we grow closer to Jesus, we will become more like Him.
Read Galatians 5:22-23 and Luke 15:1-7
The first of the fruits of the spirit is love. Jesus taught a lot about love and in the Parable of the Lost Sheep Jesus taught about the love of God.
God loves us so much, He sent His only son to die for us. God doesn’t want any of His sheep, any of us, to be lost. God loves us enough to die for us. If we are growing in our faith, we will love other people the way Jesus loved us. We won’t judge others, but we will love and care for everyone who needs love. We will produce love like a fruit, and that fruit will help others come to believe that Jesus loves them too.
Love is the first fruit of the Spirit, and the more we grow in Christ, the more we will love others. Let’s commit to become growing Christians so that we can overflow with love to those who need it. Let’s be Christians who seek after the lost sheep so that everyone can find their way into God’s kingdom.
