The Christian life is not about a list of do’s and don’ts, but is about God working in our hearts, by His Spirit, to bring us to faith in Jesus Christ. As we continue to live out our faith, God continues to work in our hearts by His Spirit to produce Christ likeness, or the fruit of the Spirit in our lives.
Today as we look at Proverbs 10:12, we will see that love heals what sin destroys. By His Spirit, God is making us agents of His love in this world.
