"Owe no one anything , except to love one another, for the one who loves another has fulfilled the law." ~Romans 13:8
Do you realize that if we loved one another with all our heart, soul, mind and strength we wouldn't need money? We would always constantly be on the lookout to serve every need of one another and no one would lack anything, most of all compassion. My mind is blown with the thought that God, Himself, as Jesus, loves us in that very manner. He loved His own Father so greatly that He gave up His very life to save His lowly children, thereby proving that His love for sinners extends to every throb of the heart, deepest extent of the soul, loftiest consideration of the mind and greatest feat of strength! Love is the only eternal currency and Jesus used it to fully pay the debt of our failures before God. And this is how Christ paid the debt of love for us:
"And you, who were dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses, by canceling the record of debt that stood against us with its legal demands. This he set aside, nailing it to the cross." ~Colossians 2:13-14

We are therefore called to be like God.
ReplyDeleteMatthew 6:!4 For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
1 Peter 1:16 for it is written: "Be holy, because I am holy."
