Love, the Fulfillment of The Law

Theme: The power of God at Work in us

Brethren,

How are you doing today? I trust this meets you well.

Last Sunday we looked at our responsibility to civil authorities. This Sunday, we continue in Romans chapter 13. And this time, we would be focusing on our responsibility to each other, not just as believers, but as human beings. We will be looking at this under the topic: Love, The Fulfillment of the Law.

Key Learning points include:

1. To “owe nothing to anyone except for your debt to Love one another” makes loving others (believers and non-believers) as the only debt (obligation) which God places on the believer, and which no believer can ever, and is ever expected to get out of.
2. Love fulfills all requirements of the Law. We all love ourselves so much that none of us would like his life, property, spouse, to be taken by another. In similar manner, if we show the same love for others, we would have ended up fulfilling God’s commands in relation to Himself and to others. In this way, love ties all the law under one heading Romans 13:10a.
3. There is an urgency to this call to love others: The night is almost gone, the day of salvation is here… therefore, we must turn away from a sinful life and start to execute the life of love today. 

See the attached outline for your further reference.

See you on Sunday.
