The Loving Basket: How holiness combines


---

John 16:7
But very truly I tell you, it is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you.

---

The Holy Spirit is the fullness of God's power, and of the Authority that bears the name of Christ. The Holy Spirit is known by us in the same manner the unseen qualities of God are known.

The fruits and gifts of the Holy Spirit are founded in perfect Love, as God is Love.

---

Galatians 5:22-23
22 
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance(patience), kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
23
gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law.

---

2 Corinthians 12:4-11
4
There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit distributes them.
5
There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord.
6
There are different kinds of working, but in all of them and in everyone it is the same God at work.

7
Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good.
8
To one there is given through the Spirit a message of wisdom, to another a message of knowledge by means of the same Spirit,
9
to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit,
10
to another miraculous powers, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in different kinds of tongues, and to still another the interpretation of tongues.
11
All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, and he distributes them to each one, just as he determines.

These fruits and gifts represent the perfection that comes through us, by the conscience upon us all. It vital as Christians that we recognize these fruit shouldn't serve our will, but instead, serve lovingly; those whom are placed in front of us. The Holy Spirit gives freely for the common good, yes. But it is a great division: those who claim themselves as righteous because of the Spirit, and, those whom serve purpose, and recognize that righteousness is the Father's alone.

God is Love. All the powers of the Holy Spirit are based in love. The foundation of selflessness is to serve the will of the Father. So from that Rock, the body of Truth stands. This body which Christ is the head of, serves by seeking from the kingdom, in sincere love for one another. So this means that all the attributes of the Holy Spirit are based in love. Love for the Father shown by doing His will through the belief in His Truth, and love for one another; shown in acts of faith. That which comes through the kingdom, the heavenly conscience, is greater than our imperfection which we set aside in faith.

---

2 Corinthians 12:12-14
12
Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ.
13
For we were all baptized by one Spirit so as to form one body—whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free—and we were all given the one Spirit to drink.
14
Even so the body is not made up of one part but of many.

To be kind is not human, it is holiness acting out of love, which is also holy. These are not emotions, nor worldliness. These are full and complete attributes of a perfect Spirit. Because someone does not have understanding of the kingdom, does not mean they do not have love come through them. Our God is the God of the living. All whom live can love. But, it is only few who attribute these fruits and gifts as holiness acting through them, showing God to be righteous alone.

The good news gospel, is the understanding of the kingdom. A heavenly conscience upon the creation of mankind, of which, the Holy Spirit acts through. The Holy Spirit is a part of God, so the Father recognizes His fruits. This is the opportunity: bring Him glory so He may draw you closer to Him. Honor Him, by remaining humble, put aside your reactions and act on faith that love can supply holiness through you in your day.

The fruit and gifts of Love are capable of serving the Father's will. And as a body of believers, we are the physical potential of unseen holy power.
