“When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn’t bend over and paint her toenails anymore. So my grandfather does it for her all the time, even when his hands got arthritis too. That’s love.” Rebecca- age 8

Agapaō Fulfill God’s Law

except for your obligation Romans 13 (NLT) 8 Owe nothing to anyone— except for your obligation to love one another.   

If you love your neighbour, you will fulfill the requirements of God’s law   

9 For the commandments say, “You must not commit adultery. You must not murder. You must not steal. You must not covet.”  

These—and other such commandments— are summed up in this one commandment: “Love your neighbour as yourself.”

Luke 10

29…and who is my neighbour?

36 “Now which of these three would you say was a neighbour to the man who was attacked by bandits?” 

“The one who showed him mercy.” “Yes, now go and do the same.” 37 The man replied, “The one who showed him mercy.” Then Jesus said,  “Yes, now go and do the same.”

10 Love does no wrong to others, so love fulfills the requirements of God’s law.

11 This is all the more urgent, for you know how late it is; time is running out.

for our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed. Wake up, for our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed. 

12 The night is almost gone; the day of salvation will soon be here. So remove your dark deeds like dirty clothes…

…and put on the shining armour of right living.

13 Because we belong to the day, we must live decent lives for all to see. Don’t participate in the darkness…

…of wild parties and drunkenness, or in sexual promiscuity and immoral living, or in quarrelling and jealousy.

ways to indulge your evil desires. What Next? And don’t let yourself think about ways to indulge your evil desires.

What Next? Romans 12:1-2 (NLT) Romans 13:13-14 (NLT) And so, dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to give your bodies to God because of all he has done for you. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice—the kind he will find acceptable. This is truly the way to worship him. 2 Don’t copy the behaviour and customs of this world… but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.   13 Because we belong to the day, we must live decent lives for all to see. Don’t participate in the darkness of wild parties and drunkenness, or in sexual promiscuity and immoral living, or in quarrelling and jealousy.  14 Instead, clothe yourself with the presence of the Lord Jesus Christ.

What Next? This Do – In Remembrance of Me

freely makes us right in His sight. He did this through Christ Jesus Romans 3 24…God, in His grace, freely makes us right in His sight. He did this through Christ Jesus when He freed us from the penalty for our sins.

For God presented Jesus as the sacrifice for sin. People are made right with God when they believe that Jesus sacrificed His life, shedding His blood. 

 Jesus, Thy Blood And Righteousness 193 CCLI No. 11100572

Jesus, Thy blood and righteousness my beauty are, my glorious dress; 'midst flaming worlds, in these arrayed, with joy shall I lift up my head.  

Bold shall I stand in that great day, for who aught to my charge shall lay? Fully absolved through these I am, from sin and fear, from guilt and shame. 

Lord, I believe Thy precious blood, which, at the mercy seat of God, forever doth for sinners plead, for me, e'en for my soul, was shed

Lord, I believe were sinners more Than sands upon the ocean shore, Thou hast for all a ransom paid, For all a full atonement made.

When from the dust of death I rise to claim my mansion in the skies, e'en then this shall be all my plea, Jesus hath lived, hath died, for me.

For I am sure that neither death nor life, Romans 8 For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation…

…will be able to separate us in Christ Jesus our Lord. from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
