Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law. 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. 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. Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying. But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof. (Rom 13:10-14)
GOD's Royal Law directs our interaction with Him and with each other. Spelled out in the great commandments and in what we commonly call the Decalogue or Ten Commandments, it was fulfilled by Christ, and is fulfilled by us in love. When we were outside of Christ and not yet redeemed we could not keep the Law, for we were not born again, and the Law showed us our need for Christ. In Christ, by His faith and covenant, and our receiving Him by faith in His finished and perfect work on the Cross of Calvary, we keep not only the Royal Law, but also the Law of grace and Liberty.
The Law being fulfilled in and by Christ is not a license for us to sIn, for we are to now live in Him. We are free, not to sIn, but to accomplish His Will and do His work here as His ambassadors. To walk in the perfect Law of Liberty, and point others to Christ, who is our Redeemer. We are not to walk as we did when we were lost, but to walk in Him and He in us, the Hope of Glory. We are to be about our Father's business, of sharing Christ with all who do not know Him, and walking and working in the power and presence of the Holy Spirit who dwells within all who are His, until the day He takes us Home to be with Him.
Until that day, we are to minister to the hurting and in need, in perfect love, as GOD gives the increase. We are to disciple one another in the Word that we may grow into the image of His dear Son, and love one another as He loves us, that all may know we are His disciples. We are to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ, that those who have never repented of their sins may turn to GOD and believe the Good News of reconciliation and have life in His Name.
For GOD is not willing that any should perish, but that all would come to repentance and the knowledge of the Truth. Jesus loves you and wants to establish a covenant relationship with you that is real and personal. Surrender to Him on His terms and He will give you a brand new life of discipleship and fellowship with Him that is abundant and everlasting. GOD calls you to trust Him and what He has already done for you to pay your sIn debt. He has provided the only way of reconciliation with GOD with forgiveness and Salvation through Jesus Christ, the Son of GOD who is GOD the Son, to give you a new life in Christ. Turn away from yourself and your sIn and turn to Him alone for eternal Life, now and always.
In Christ,
