Romans 13:8-10
Dear brethren,
Love among brethren is an amazing thing, if it is practiced. It is easy to say that we love one another, but if our actions do not show the love, then do we really love one another?
Speaking personally, I would not be surprised to learn that some people may question my love for them due to my inactivity at times. I can say I love them, but if do not show the love, then how do they know I love them?
Another interesting quality of love is that love does no harm. At this point, we are no longer talking about inactivity, but activity that does no harm. We should consider how we deal with our fellow Christians. We need to ask ourselves if what we are about to say or do will cause the brother harm? If the answer is yes, then we must refrain. Remember, in all things, love does no harm.
Here is Romans 13:8-10 for your consideration.
Romans 13:8-10
8 Owe no one anything except to love one another, for he 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 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.”
10 Love does no harm to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.
In Love,
John Duvall
