No Loosie Goosey Love


Romans 13:8 Owe no one anything, except to love each other, for the one 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 covet,” and any other commandment, are summed up in this word: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” 10 Love does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.

As Paul continues to develop what it practically looks like for the just to live by faith, He repeats the call of Jesus for living out love.  For us living in an age where "love" is redefined, twisted, and watered down, we may be tempted to turn a deaf ear, thinking it is easy, a given, or maybe not all that important. But it is. Love is living with others on our radar, caring how our lives impact theirs, believing God's "rules" for how we do so are not only important, but imperative. Love does no wrong, and God is the one who defines what is right and wrong.  May we determine to love others God's way.
