Good morning, happy Friday,
-Love One Another And Thus Fulfill The Law Of Love-
“Owe no one anything except to love one another, for he who loves another has fulfilled the law.”
(Romans 13:8).
Love is the universal language of the heart. James 2:8 says, “If you really fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself,’ you do well.” The world around us is hurting. Once again we have had a rash of police shootings and mass killings. Oh, how love is so desperately needed today! We as believers need to lead the way and show the love of Christ to all those around us.
The Apostle Paul tells us, “Owe no one anything but to love one another…” one of the ways we show our love to Christ is by loving others, especially those who are of the household of faith. Being in debt to someone is never good, except in the case of love. Paul also wrote, “Love does no harm to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of the law” (Romans 13:10).
Just think how different the world would be if everyone loved one another as himself! When Jesus will return to reign that will happen. Until then, let us demonstrate His love to all those around us. Love goes far beyond emotions and is shown in actions. The Apostle John wrote, “Beloved let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and loves God. He who does not love does not know God, for God is love” (1 John 4:7-8).
Is there anyone in your life that is hard to love? Is there anyone who needs a hug? Is there anyone who needs to hear you say, “I love you?” Let us love not only in word but also in deed and in truth. Let us love generously and sacrificially. Then people will see Jesus in us!
Have a blessed day loving others as the Lord has loved us. Stay safe and healthy.
