Love Your Neighbor (Romans 13:8-10)

“Owe no one anything except to love one another, for he who loves another has fulfilled the law. 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.”

Love does no harm to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.” (Romans 13:8-10)

God is love and through all the New Testament we knew the love Father God has for us.

God’s love to us is manifested not only that he made us out of nothing, but had also graciously bestowed on us His own life by the grace of His Incarnated Son, Jesus Christ.

We were by nature subject to corruption, but the grace of our union with Jesus made us capable of escaping from the natural law, provided that we 'retained the beauty of innocence with which we were created in Jesus’ image and likeness. 

That is to say, the indwelling of Jesus in us transforms us to His image and shields us even from natural corruption.

God’s love must be a present reality, the inflowing of a life and a power in which we can love like Him.

It is only by the Holy Spirit we realize what Jesus is doing for us, and how He does it, and that it is He who does it. 

It becomes so easy and we see it is possible for us to do to others what He is doing to us. 

His love is our strength. 

If we receive Jesus in us in the Holy Spirit, we can love others with Jesus’ love in us. 

We can obey and do His command to love our neighbors as He loved us. 

We love them with the same love we have received from Him in the Holy Spirit.

The love of Christ becomes no mere idea or sentiment, but it is a real divine life power.

As long as we, the believer in Christ, do not understand this, Jesus’ love cannot exert its full power in us.

But when our faith rises to realize that Christ’s love is nothing less than the imparting of Himself and His love to the beloved, and we become rooted in this love as the source when our lives derives its sustenance, then we see that our Lord simply asks that we should allow His love to flow through us.

We must live in a Christ-given strength: the love of Christ constrains us, and enables us to love our neighbors as He did.

Amen.
