Rom 13:8 Owe no man any thing, but to love one
another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.
Rom 13:9 For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery,
Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,
Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly
comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
Rom 13:10 Love worketh no ill to his neighbour:
therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.
Rom 13:11 And that, knowing the time, that now it is
high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we
believed.
Rom 13:12 The night is far spent, the day is at hand:
let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour
of light.
Rom 13:13 Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in
rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and
envying.
Rom 13:14 But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make
not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.

If we LOVE one
another we do NOT live in sin, but in the law of LOVE!
LOVE- it's a CHOICE.
LOVE is NOT a
feeling, it's an ACTIVE CHOOSING to engage in behavior that YOU want to be
GIVEN!
Not a warped desire,
not a warped lust, not a self-consuming, self-pleasing, self-obsessed love that
so many have claimed is love.
LOVE is meeting the
NEEDS of others, the LIFE sustaining needs and the ETERNAL needs of
others.
LOVE isn't giving
another person all their selfish desires.
Love works NO ill to
others.
And it doesn't
matter what that ILL is! Love is choosing NOT to work ill towards anyone for
any reason.
We truly need to
cast off our works of darkness- all the works not of love!
We truly need the
armor of LIGHT.
We need to PUT on
the LORD JESUS CHRIST.
We MUST not make
PROVISION for our FLESHY LUSTS!
We do that, we make
provisions for our lusts, and by the grace of God we have to keep from doing
this.
We need to keep from
all our SELFISH, SELF-SERVING deeds which are UNLOVING!
LORD, HELP US!
We hate being bound
to our flesh, we hate SERVING the flesh!
We desire to serve
GOD, through GOD!
PLEASE LORD, help
us! HELP ME!
In the name of Jesus
Christ, my Savior, now and forever!
Amen.
