Amen, Pastor Sean!! I love Jesus too!! His love for us is past our ability to comprehend. But, each day we may learn of Him, more and more.
You speak of the fruits of His Spirit, this is the work Jesus wants to do in each of us. When we are truly converted, we have perfection of Christian character. That is we are perfect at each stage of development. But, being perfect in moral character, while it denotes a pure and holy heart, it does not mean there is no room for growth. First the blade, then the ear, then the full corn in the ear. When we examine the young seedling popping up through the ground, we find perfection. There is no imperfection in the seedling. As it matures, it retains its perfection. So it was with Jesus. He was always perfect, yet He was not ready for Gethsemane when He was 12. "He learned obedience through the things He suffered." So it is with each child of humanity when he gives his whole heart to Christ. His motives are perfect, pure, and holy even though he may eat the wrong food, keep the wrong day, and dress without a knowledge of heavenly modesty. Jesus will make up for our lack of understanding. And, He will continue to educate us as to what it means to be modest in dress and deportment.
As we grow daily in grace, the fruits which are already in the life will indeed become more abundant. The love we have for Jesus will deepen. The love we have for people will expand. Day by day as we behold our Savior we will be growing more and more into His image. God has revealed the plan of salvation in His Word. Consider that not only is our character perfection progressive, but so are the temptations that come to us. God has promised He will not allow us to be tempted beyond what we can bear. That is a conditional promise. We can see that because at times we are tempted beyond what we can bear. God's promises never fail. What then fails when we sin? We do. We did not remain connected to our Savior. How can He save us without our cooperation? He cannot. We must have Jesus in order to resist the smallest temptation. Who believes they can walk on water without Jesus?
So, as Pastor Sean has shared, day by day we will become more powerful in our witness of Christ, if we will continually draw strength from Christ. Then, the world will know there is a God in heaven, for they will see Him in you. There is a difference between the converted Christian and the unrepentant sinner. In the Book of Matthew, Jesus tells us:
7:13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide [is] the gate, and broad [is] the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
7:14 Because strait [is] the gate, and narrow [is] the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
7:15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
7:16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
7:17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
7:18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither [can] a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
7:19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
7:20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
