“Owe nothing to anyone—except for your obligation to love one another. If you love your neighbor, you will fulfill the requirements of God’s law. For the commandments say, “You must not commit adultery. You must not murder. You must not steal. You must not covet.” These—and other such commandments—are summed up in this one commandment: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”

Love does no wrong to others, so love fulfills the requirements of God’s law.” – Romans 13:8-10 (NLT)

As Christians, we have one significant obligation to everyone; to love them, as Christ loves us.  When we strive to wrap our lives in the outpouring of His mighty love, we draw ever closer to meeting those guidelines that God laid down for us.  For in the light of true, all-encompassing love, sin cannot exist.

    When we are being obedient in loving God with everything in us and loving others as He commanded, then we won’t be sinning against God or our fellow man.

    One obligation, I like that. Love is really the only answer, isn’t it?

    Phil,

    I love that, for in the light of true love sin cannot exist. Such truthful powerful words today Phil.

    Sin does not exist where Go is, and God is love.

    Blessings to you Phil.
