Love is an action word. 

We need to immerse ourselves in the Gospels. Because the fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge when we know God better we will do better. Help me Holy Spirit, precept by precept, to understand Your ways. The fruit of the Spirit is grown in proportion to our time spent with Him. To God be all the glory!

Proverbs 1:7 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, But fools despise wisdom and instruction.

Proverbs 2:5 Then you will understand the fear of the Lord, and find the knowledge of God.

Philippians 1:9-11

9 And this I pray, that your love may abound still more and more in knowledge and all discernment, 10 that you may approve the things that are excellent, that you may be sincere and without offense till the day of Christ, 11 being filled with the fruits of righteousness which are by Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.

As Paul explains later, love (agapē) involves putting others before oneself. The knowledge that Paul has in mind is not just intellectual but experiential, acquired through acts of love. The Greek term used here, aisthēsis, refers to the ability to make decisions for the benefit of others. When the Philippians’ love abounds, they will be able to determine what is most valuable or beneficial to the community. This agape love is the natural results of belonging to Christ, whose death and resurrection bring righteousness to all who believe. Faithlife Bible.
