“Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law” (Romans 13:8). Love is the ultimate debt we continually owe others, a responsibility that never ends. By loving others, we live out the very heart of God’s New-Testament law of love, fulfilling its purpose in our relationships.

“A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another” (John 13:34, 35). Jesus set the standard for love by His own example, calling us to a sacrificial and selfless love. Our witness to the world hinges on this love, which is the defining mark of true discipleship.

“Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him. By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments. For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous” (1 John 5:1-3). True love for God is expressed through obedience, which flows naturally from a transformed heart. His commands are life-giving, not oppressive, because they align us with His love and purpose.

“But you were unwilling to go up. You rebelled against the command of the LORD your God; you grumbled in your tents and said, ‘It is because the LORD hates us that he has brought us out of the land of Egypt to hand us over to the Amorites to destroy us” (Deuteronomy 1:26, 27). Fear and distrust can distort our view of God’s intentions, leading to rebellion and complaint. It’s therefore prudent to guard against interpreting challenges as evidence of God’s absence rather than opportunities to trust His promises.

“We love him, because he first loved us... And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also” (1 John 4;19, 21). Love for God is inseparable from love for others. God’s initiating love calls us to reflect His character through tangible acts of love toward those around us.
- January 23
“And hope does not disappoint us, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit that has been given to us” (Romans 5:5). Our hope in God is secure because it’s rooted in God’s love, not in our circumstances. The Holy Spirit’s presence assures us that His love is an active and sustaining force in our lives.

“Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers” (1 Timothy 1:9) The law exists to restrain sin, not for those who live righteously. As believers who yield to the prompting of the holy Spirit, we live beyond the need for legal constraint.

“And you, who were dead in trespasses and in the uncircumcision of your flesh (your sensuality, your sinful carnal nature), [God] brought to life together with [Christ], having freely forgiven us all our transgressions, Having canceled and blotted out and wiped away the handwriting of the note (bond) with its legal decrees and demands which was in force and stood against us (hostile to us). This [note with its regulations, decrees, and demands] He set aside and cleared completely out of our way by nailing it to [His] cross. [God] disarmed the principalities and powers that were ranged against us and made a bold display and public example of them, in triumphing over them in Him and in it [the cross]” (Colossians 2:13-15, AMPC). Christ went to the cross to secure our complete forgiveness and freedom. Every accusation and spiritual opposition has been publicly defeated, leaving us victorious in Him.

“And Moses verily was faithful in all his house, as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after; But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end” (Hebrews 3:5, 6). Under the law, Moses displayed complete faithfulness and obedience to God, yet he was still a servant. By contrast, under grace, we have a place in God’s household because we’re no longer servants, but children.

“Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God” (1 John 3:1). The depth of God’s love has no limits; He loves us so much that He made us His children when we accepted His Son. Being His sons and daughters elevates us from the world’s spiritual and moral decay and allows us to live in righteousness and love.

The law served its purpose in its time, but we were never supposed to live under it permanently. It was given to point mankind to Jesus and make him realize His need for a Savior; once Jesus came, the law was no longer necessary.

“Study and be eager and do your utmost to present yourself to God approved (tested by trial), a workman who has no cause to be ashamed, correctly analyzing and accurately dividing [rightly handling and skillfully teaching] the Word of Truth” (2 Timothy 2:15, AMPC).
Only through the proper interpretation of God’s Word can we discern His will under the new covenant of grace. The Old Testament was written for our learning, but the New Testament was written for our living.

“For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases him” (Philippians 2:13, NLT).

“Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God” (1 John 4:15).
As the body of Christ, we make our home in God. We’re a part of Him, and He’s a part of us.

“For the body is not one member, but many. If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body? And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body? If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling? But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him” (1 Corinthians 12:14-18).
As the body of Christ, the church has many members, each person blessed with their own unique gifts and talents. Regardless of individual differences, everyone in God’s plan has their own calling.

“And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them” (Genesis 1:26, 27).
We live in a backward, patriarchal world, but God’s original plan was equality between men and women. Sin spoiled this; it took Jesus’ coming to restore that balance back to what the Father intended.

“For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope” (Jeremiah 29:11, NK JV).

“For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light” (2 Corinthians 5:17).
When we got born again, we became God’s children and were moved out of the enemy’s kingdom of darkness into His kingdom of light. We’re now free to live as such in an environment where we no longer fit in.
