Listing "faith" among the fruit of the Spirit has often confused people: isn't faith the foundation of everything else?

Describing the first fruit of the spirit, 'love', from the perspective of the entire letter of Galatians, this sermon describes love (along with the other fruits of the spirit) as the culmination of the letter and the culmination of the transformation in the Galatian believers when they were given the Spirit. It is an encouragement to order our behaviour by this most central attitude of the heart--love, as the fulfillment of the law, and as entirely possible because we have the Spirit of Christ.
