In this nine-part series, Michael Youssef reminds us that God’s Spirit indwells in every believer. Therefore, His fruit — the fruit of the Spirit — is not just a list of behaviors we practice each day, but tools that God has given to be used on a regular basis for our good and His glory.

In this opening message of Spirituality That Heals, Dr. Michael Youssef confronts the modern distortion of love and restores its true, biblical meaning. Teaching from Galatians 5:22–23, he shows that love—the first fruit of the Spirit—is not mere emotion or tolerance but self-giving action modeled by Christ Himself. True biblical love is most visible not in comfort but in conflict, sacrifice, and forgiveness. Dr. Youssef challenges believers to repent of counterfeit love, to be filled daily with the Holy Spirit, and to let Christ love others through them—even when hurt, rejected, or criticized—so that the Church becomes a living witness to God’s redeeming power.
