Romans 13:8 (NKJV) 8 Owe no one anything except to love one another, for he who loves another has fulfilled the law.
Loving one another. Is it easier to love someone if we don’t really know them? Or is it easier to love someone that we already know?
Sometimes knowing more about someone can cause us not to love them, due to the way they act or the way they treat others. Maybe their habits, or problems they have caused in our life, turn us away from loving them.
In order to love one another the way Jesus tells us to, we need to get understanding of how Christ loved us first. Despite all our sin and disobedience, He gave His life for each one of us. We did not deserve it or do anything that was worthy of His love.
1 John 4:19 (NKJV) 19 We love Him because He first loved us.
We did not have to do anything for Christ, or be a good person, in order for Him to love us. Therefore we can’t put stipulations on who we are to love.
We need to follow His example and love others, no matter what we know or don’t know about that person, and no matter what they’ve done or not done to us or to others. And, no matter what race or denomination they are, etc.
We are called to owe no one anything except to love one another. Amen.
