If we are not producing the fruit of the Spirit, not matter how much foliage we produce we are not fulfilling the Gospel and Doctrine of Christ. If we keep every standard so that an ultra-conservative looks sinful next to us but we do not have the real, awesome, consuming love of Jesus, we are nothing but clang brass and tinkling cymbals. Jesus said that ALL the law and the prophets are fulfilled when we Love God with everything we are and have, and we love our neighbor as we love ourselves. Love is the first attribute in the fruit of the spirit list.
