One of the biggest problems in the Christian<br />
church today is Christians who are easily<br />
offended. The sad truth is <strong>that</strong> even some<br />
Christian leaders are easily angered and<br />
offended!<br />
The true mark of a mature Christian is a life<br />
<strong>that</strong> is characterized by the fruit of the Spirit:<br />
“love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness,<br />
faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control”<br />
(Galatians 5:22-23, nasb).<br />
Many Bible commentators feel <strong>that</strong> love is<br />
the fruit, with the other eight characteristics<br />
listed simply as a manifestation of love.<br />
We read in 1 Corinthians 13:5 <strong>that</strong> love “is<br />
not easily provoked”, which means “not easily<br />
offended.”<br />
