And why would the Holy Spirit lead the apostle Paul to suddenly
insert this section between chapters 12 and 14?</font></p>
<p style="margin-top:0.01in;margin-bottom:0in"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0.01in;margin-bottom:0in"><font style="font-size:11pt" size="2">I
think it is probably because the temptation to pridefully use, misuse
and abuse the gifts of the Spirit is such a possibility for new
believers and carnal Christians. In a sense, chapter 12 deals with
the understanding and theology of the gifts of the Spirit. Chapter 14
talks about the use and misuse of the gifts, especially prophecy and
tongues.</font></p>
<p style="margin-top:0.01in;margin-bottom:0in"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0.01in;margin-bottom:0in"><font style="font-size:11pt" size="2">This
section points out that </font><font style="font-size:11pt" size="2"><u>love</u></font><font style="font-size:11pt" size="2">,
which heads the list of the fruit of the Spirit in Galatians 5:22-23,
is the greatest safeguard for those tempted to misuse the gifts.</font></p>
<p style="margin-top:0.01in;margin-bottom:0in"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0.01in;margin-bottom:0in"><font style="font-size:11pt" size="2">As
stated before in 12:12-31a, manifestation of the gifts should
normally take place immediately following the new birth – but the
development of the fruit of the Spirit – especially love, the very
nature and character of God – continues throughout our lifetime.
Jesus clearly lays out in Mark 8:34 the high cost of discipleship –
“If any man would come after me, let him </font><font style="font-size:11pt" size="2"><u>deny
himself</u></font><font style="font-size:11pt" size="2"> , </font><font style="font-size:11pt" size="2"><u>take
up his cross</u></font><font style="font-size:11pt" size="2">, and
</font><font style="font-size:11pt" size="2"><u>follow Me</u></font><font style="font-size:11pt" size="2">.”
There is a progression in these three steps, and when arrived at,
allow us to claim like Paul in Galatians 2:20,</font><font style="font-size:11pt" size="2"><b>
“</b></font><font style="font-size:11pt" size="2"><u><b>I am
crucified</b></u></font><font style="font-size:11pt" size="2"><b> with
Christ; nevertheless I live; yet </b></font><font style="font-size:11pt" size="2"><u><b>not</b></u></font><font style="font-size:11pt" size="2"><b>
I, but Christ lives in me; </b></font><font style="font-size:11pt" size="2"><u><b>and
the life which I now live in the flesh, I live</b></u></font><font style="font-size:11pt" size="2"><b>
by the faith of the Son of God, </b></font><font style="font-size:11pt" size="2"><u><b>who
loves me, and gave</b></u></font><font style="font-size:11pt" size="2"><b>
His life for me!</b></font><font style="font-size:11pt" size="2">”
See again Mel Gibson’s “The Passion of the Christ,” to identify
with Him in this way.</font></p>

</font><font style="font-size:11pt" size="2"><u>this</u></font><font style="font-size:11pt" size="2">
state there is safety when we manifest the gifts of the Spirit. We do
so in the same spirit in which Jesus Himself manifested them in His 3
year ministry on earth. It is always safe to live in the 4 Gospels.
There we see Jesus manifesting these supernatural gifts to the glory
of God His Father – and the well-being of His fellow man.</font></p>

</p>
<p style="margin-top:0.01in;margin-bottom:0in"><font style="font-size:11pt" size="2">So
yes – there is tremendous wisdom of the Spirit in having Paul place
this <u>love</u> chapter between the two “gift” chapters. </font>

love! It is His basic essence, which He consistently manifests as an

confirmation from him after she told somebody off - his response was

honey before vinegar, so people respond to love more quickly than
rebuke.</span></font></p>

known to speak an unloving word to anyone - believer or unbeliever. A
