All Christians are called to embody agape love, which can only be accomplished through the power of the Holy Spirit. By asking the question, “What would Jesus do?” as the first step to making decisions, we can experience the guiding of the Holy Spirit and discover the fruit of the Spirit in our own lives. • • •
