Love is the complete fulfillment of the Law of God. Romans 13:8 tells us that we will fulfill the law by loving our fellow man. As we clothe ourselves in Christ, we are fulfilling the law of love, and letting love be perfected in us. Are you letting love have it’s perfect work? Today, you can! Today you can demonstrate the love of God to your family, to your friends, to everyone you meet. You can reflect God’s life-giving, loving nature through your words and actions. You’ve heard it said that faith without works is dead. The same can be said for love, love without corresponding action is empty. We can, through our words and deeds, obey the command of Christ to walk in love. Spread some love today!
Listen closely to these words from Romans 13:8-11
8 Owe no one anything except to love one another, for he who loves another has fulfilled the law. 9 For the commandments, “You shall not commit adultery,” “You shall not murder,” “You shall not steal,” “You shall not bear false witness,” “You shall not covet,”and if there is any other commandment, are all summed up in this saying, namely, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” 10 Love does no harm to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of the law. 11 And do this, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep; for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed.
Here is a cry to remember that we must stay awake. Don’t be a sleeping Christian. Don’t get sleepy in your actions. Let’s stay awake to love. It is the way to live. Even when we feel like it doesn’t have an affect, love is the answer. Let’s only owe each other the wonderful, amazing love of God., and pour it on thick!
