Abound in Spiritual fruit Reference Page

The fruits of the Spirit are the manifestation of the divine Influence of God.
Reference: 2 Thessalonians 2:13 13But we should always give thanks to God for you, brethren beloved by the Lord, because God has chosen you [a]from the beginning for salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and faith in the truth.

Anything that conflicts with God's Heavenly fruit is born of sin.
Reference: Isaiah 45:8 God's Supreme Power 8"Drip down, O heavens, from above, And let the clouds pour down righteousness; Let the earth open up and salvation bear fruit, And righteousness spring up with it. I, the LORD, have created it.

Hate conflicts with Love.
Reference: Proverbs 10:12 12Hatred stirs up strife, But love covers all transgressions.

Any form of hatred, whether expressed or unexpressed, is sin.
Reference: John 15:24 24"If I had not done among them the works which no one else did, they would not have sin; but now they have both seen and hated Me and My Father as well.

It is the worst sin of all sins, because it is in conflict with the greatest of God's virtues, Love.
Reference: Isaiah 38:17 17"Lo, for my own welfare I had great bitterness; It is You who has kept my soul from the pit of nothingness, For You have cast all my sins behind Your back.

He, who allows hate to rule his life, is not born of God, but has the Devil for a father.
Reference: John 8:44 44"You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies.

Love God, everyone and everything.
Reference: 1 John 4:7 1 God Is Love 7Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God.
