Love is Fulfilling the Law.


"Owe nothing to anyone except to love one another; for he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law.

For this, 'You shall not commit adultery, you shall not murder, you shall not steal, you shall not covet,' and any other commandment, is summed up in this saying, 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.'

Love does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of the law." Romans13:8-10

Paul goes on to say:

"Do this, knowing the time, that it is already the hour for you to awaken from sleep; for now salvation is nearer to us than when we first believed.

The night is almost gone; and the day is near. Therefore let us lay aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light."
Verses 11-12.
