John Farley Wednesday, March 14, 2012 Spiritual Gifts Part 240: Two friends that bear burdens, for love and for hope
Gal 5:22-23 Patience is a big part of our calling and election, Eph 4:1-2; Col 3:12. 1Co 13:13 But now faith, hope, love, abide these three; but the greatest of these is love.
Running the race: The greatest of these is love, but love takes time and patience to arrive into, 2Ti 3:10-11. After years of absorbing the teaching, day by day, and then living in the conduct, the royal family honor code, something starts to emerge!
First stop is FAITH. makrothumia = a state of emotional calm in the face of provocation and without complaint or irritation - 'patience.'
makros = “long” in place or time
hupomone.
