Summary

They say if you’ve been married long enough you start to look like each other. Whether or not that’s true in marriage, I know that’s true about God and you. We’re being transformed into the image of his Son. Every fruit of the Spirit, every aspect of holiness comes from looking at God himself. We look now at 1) what it means to study the fruit of the Spirit, 2) why love is more important than anything else, 3) what the opposite of love is, 4) what the counterfeit of love is, and 5) how you develop love in your life. This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on February 4, 1990. Series: Fruit of the Spirit. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 13. Today's podcast is brought to you by Gospel in Life, the site for all sermons, books, study guides and resources from Timothy Keller and Redeemer Presbyterian Church.

0:00.0	Welcome to Gospel in Life. What does the Bible mean when it talks about the fruit of the spirit?
0:09.8	How can we cultivate the fruit of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness,
0:16.5	and self-control in our lives.
0:18.6	Join us today as Tim Keller teaches on the fruit of the spirit. Please turn to 1st Corinthians 13.
0:29.0	Next to Psalm 23 and maybe the 10 Commandments, it's hard to imagine that we have a more popular and familiar passage,
0:43.0	we're looking at the fruit of the spirit.
0:46.0	We looked at them in general last week
0:48.0	when we looked at Galatians 5.
0:50.0	And starting this week and moving to the next nine weeks we're going to be looking in in order
0:56.7	at a good passage on each of the fruit of the spirit on love and joy and peace and patience and kindness and goodness and meekness and generalist self-control and so on.
1:05.0	Tonight let's read something that surely you've heard before and it's familiar but it's
1:12.0	the locus classicus it's. It's the classic text on love in the Bible.
1:19.0	If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging symbol.
1:26.0	If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a
1:30.6	faith that can move mountains but have not love I am nothing.
1:34.0	If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, and have not love, I gain nothing.
1:41.0	Love is patient. Love is kind, it does not envy, it does not boast, it is not
1:47.6	proud, it is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered. It keeps no record of wrongs.
1:55.8	Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth. It always protects,
2:01.5	always trusts, always trusts, always
2:03.1	hopes, always persevers.
2:05.8	Love never fails.
