God's love is rather like an orange - a single fruit with many segments.The fruit the Holy Spirit produces in us as we surrender to him is God's supernatural agape-love. Only the Holy Spirit of God can produce it in a person through the process known as SANCTIFICATION, as s/he is submitted to God and allows him to transform him/her [For more on this see GROWING IN CHRIST.]
