Law and Love

The 2nd Sunday in Easter-tide

So then, do as the Lord has commanded you: live according to his laws and obey him. ~ Deuteronomy 6:8 (GNT)


Let love be your only debt! If you love others, you have done all that the Law demands. ~ Romans 13:8 (CEV)

KEY IDEA:
We are living according to the Lord's law when we love others.
PRAYER:
Loving Lord, it's not hard to see why you expect us to act lovingly. When we do so, we're just doing what you do. We're following you. Well, we're trying. I for one am not perfect when it comes to loving others. That means I'm not truly living according to your law. Forgive me. I know that you forgive because your love is greater than your demands. I pray, too, that you would stir the love in me so that it comes out. I'm going to spend my energy loving others. Amen.
