Romans 13;8-10
8.  Owe no one anything, except to love one another; for he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law.9.  The commandments, “You shall not commit adultery, You shall not kill, You shall not steal, You shall not covet,”  and any other commandment, are summed up in this sentence, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”10.  Love does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.
True love is life giving and life preserving.  True love is sacrificial, others’ (need) before self.
Such true love means we must be ‘truth tellers.’  “ Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ, from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by every joint with which it is supplied, when each part is working properly, makes bodily growth and builds itself in love.”  (Ephesians 4;15&16)
There is no true love except the love which first comes from God.  “ Beloved, let us love one another; for love is of God, and he who loves is born of God and knows God. He who does not love, does not know God; for God is love. In this, the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only son into the world, so that we might live through him.  This is love, not that we love God, but that he loved us and sent his son to be the expiation for our sins.  Beloved, if God loved us, we also ought to love one another.” (1 John 4;7-11)
Love comes from God to us and that very same love comes through us to others.“ Through him we have obtained  access to this Grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in our hope of sharing the glory of God. More than that, we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not disappoint us, because God‘s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.”   (Romans 5;2-5)
When we truly love others, it is Christ by the Holy Spirit actually working in and through us.
Note: Do not miss the excellent advice/command to live ‘debt free.’  Credit is a form of slavery.  “ The rich rules over the poor, and the borrower is the slave of the lender.”  (Proverbs 22;7)
Question:  What does, “ That we might live through him (the Son of God)” mean? Is it confessing right doctrine with our lips? Is it speaking the truth in love?  Does “living through Him” mean we are meta-physically indwelling Christ and share in His Mind and partake of the Divine Nature?Or, is it both?
Prayer:  Merciful Father, grant that our love be not only in word, (1 John 3;18) but in deed.   IN Jesus we pray, Amen.
Love,Dad/Baba/Eric/Grandpa Pickle Pastor“A chapter a day, every day, progressively, be transformed, ‘soak’ in the living Word.  God’s Word is our habitation, and we are His.”
