Today’s Thought “Dutiful Response” G. Ward

Romans 13

⁸ Owe nothing to anyone except to love one another; for the one who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the Law.

 

Great sarcasm from some who borrow, has been allowed to express their depletion of resources that satisfies an account of sorts, even an unfortunate adoption by onlookers similarly, that allows others to hear and apply the saddest sentiment of, “they’ll get it, when I get it” and whereas when the initial agreement was established, allowing particular goods and services to be extended (via credit), foolish defense becomes a newest demand. Our Lord would have every believer to comply (through every endeavor) with a heavenly citizenry in mind; even that to which understands an inseparable spiritual mantra that insists, who/whose I am, is what I do.

Moreover, and because we’re called HIS own, every response must first emanate with love, distinguishable from a common culture – to never wait for some to meet the same code in perceived decency, but to give it (unhesitatingly), in view of what our Lord bestowed on us (particularly while we were unlovely); not an inventive morality, for all that we’ll ever need is written (for our compliance and for HIS glory) and opposite of our proposed value systems (that lack sustaining power, along with being arrogant at best.). The contingency to see our Savior face to face remains obedience (Luke 6:46).
