Roamans 13:8 Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for he who loves his fellowman has fulfilled the law.
In the Old Testament, there were hundreds of commands that were in the Law of Moses. If just one of the commandments was broken, the entire law was broken (James 2:10). With the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, we are no longer under the law but, grace. Although we are under grace, Jesus gave us commandments we must fulfill. The root of the two commandments is love. Love fulfills the law.
Loving God and loving one another is not a one-time event but, a continuous effort on our part. Loving others is not all that easy depending on how others treat us. Depending on life’s challenges and circumstances, loving God may seem a little difficult as well. Loving God and others is something we will always owe.
As we grow and develop in our relationship with God, we should grow and develop in love.
