Faith, which is both a gift and fruit of the Spirit, works by love:
...but faith which worketh by love. (Galatians 5:6)The spiritual fruit of love is not love as it is often depicted by the world. It is a love that is
"unfeigned.” This means it is a holy love. Unfeigned love is the type of love you are to show to
others:
Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit
unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure
heart fervently. (I Peter 1:22)You are to love God:
And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy
soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this if the first
commandment. (Mark 12:30)(See also I John 2:5,15; 3:11-17; 4:7-20; 5:2; II John 1:5-6; Deuteronomy
6:5; Luke 10:27).You are to love your enemies:
But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which
hate you,Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you...And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank have ye? For
sinners also do even the same...But love ye your enemies, and do good... (Luke 6:27,32,35)Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbor, and hate
thine enemy.But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to
them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and
persecute you. (Matthew 5:43-44)You are to love your neighbors as much as you love yourself:
...Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. (Matthew 19:19)
