L.O.V.E



Love Fulfills the Law
Romans 13:8-10
"Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for whoever loves others has fulfilled the law. The commandments,"You shall not commit adultery," "You shall not murder," "You shall not steal," "You shall not covet," and whatever other command there may be, are summed up in this one command: "Love your neighbor as yourself." Love does no harm to a neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law."

If we love one another, we have fulfilled God's law to us. 
Every command God gave us, we obey it out of love
How can we apply this to our daily lives? 

We can....
Take time away from our own desires to satisfy the needs of others.
Spend time helping one another.
Lifting others up in prayer.
Doing small things out of love for others.
Saying,"Let me do that for you."
etc.


There are a lot of loving things we can do for one another, we just have to be self-less and take time out of our desires to do those things. 

1 Timothy 1:5
"The goal of this command is love, which comes from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith."

We should do loving things not hoping to get something in return, but to do it because God loved us first.
