them So love is all the Law demands,” Romans 13:8-10 If the commandment to love others as you love yourself was fulfilled no other commandment would be needed “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind and with all your strength. The second of this; Love your neighbor as yourself. There is no commandment greater than these,” Mark 12:30-31.
“Do to others as you would have them do to you,” Luke 6:31 God didn’t make things all that complicated. Just think, if everyone treated others as they wanted to be treated all issues of hate, self-centeredness, control, violence, abuse, theft, murder, adultery, disrespect, abandonment, gossip, jealousy and envy, cheating (insert here what I left out) would be solved overnight
We are born with an innate desire to have our needs fulfilled Infants don’t care about what you want They don’t want to be hungry, wet or tired They want to be held when they want to be and put down when they want to be Your needs don’t change their wants What if we were that head strong about making each other happy?
“Let love be your only debt! If you love others, you have done all that the Law demands. In the Law there are many commands, such as, “Be faithful in marriage. Do not murder. Do not steal. Do not want what belongs to others ” But all these are summed up in the command that says, “Love others as much as you love yourself ” No one who loves others will harm
Luke 10:30-36 gives the example of the Good Samaritan. Let’s take it home and say that a man was walking down the street in your home town and a robber took everything he owned, beat him up and left him for dead on the sidewalk A local priest drove by and assumed he was one of many homeless men sleeping on the sidewalk so he changed lanes and kept driving Later a church secretary drove by in a hurry and assumed someone else would stop because she didn’t have time A traveler came through town and saw the man; he felt sorry for him and went over to him. He treated his wounds and bandaged him up. Then he helped him into his car and took him to First Care to be checked over. The man then bought him dinner and took him to the Holiday Inn Express where he paid for him to rest a few days He told the inn keeper to put whatever the man needed on his card because he was happy to pay his dept “Then Jesus asked, “Which one of these three people was a real neighbor to the man who was beaten up by the robbers?” The teacher answered, “The one who showed pity,” Luke 10: 36-37
“Don’t suppose that I came to do away with the Law and the Prophets I did not come to do away with them, but to fulfill,”
Matthew 5:17 Jesus came to love us unconditional He modeled perfect love He lived for you and He died so you could have eternal live with Him in Heaven He paid the debt your sins required. You owe nothing.
Jesus loves you like you want to be loved, as you are and unconditionally
