 We live under grace. We live by the power and control of the Holy Spirit. The very first fruit of the Spirit is love. And I believe that all other of the fruits coming from that first fruit of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, long-suffering, self-control, come right out of the first fruit of agape love. Jesus said in John 8, verse 12, He says, I am the light of the world. Does it seem dark?
