What Is The Result Of Truly Knowing God Part 2 - The Simplicity Of Knowing God Part 5

As a new believer you embark on the road to perfect on the road to becoming one with God and Jesus. The only way to become one with God is to put on his nature through obedience to the leading of his Spirit by becoming a doer of the word. Paul referred to the changes that will take place in our heart as the fruits of the Spirit. John tells us that God can be summed up in one word LOVE so the fruit of the Spirit is love and will be express in the form of Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness and Self-control. 1 Cor 13:4-7 describe to us what Agape or the God kind of love is all about, it is firstly kind, not jealous, it does not brag and is not proud. Godly love is not rude or selfish, it is not motivated by anger being not easily provoke by not remembering the wrong done to it. Most importantly Godly love does not rejoice when other fail but rejoices in truth, it never fails. Peter tells us that following the lead of Holy Spirit will equip us with everything we need to live a godly life and transform us in the image and likeness of God. He adds that the more we grow in God's love the more he will be able to use us for his glory. Those who fail to grow these fruits because they refuse to obey the Spirit will find themselves separated from God for eternity but those who seek to grow in God love will spend eternity with him.
