8Owe nothing to anyone except to love one another; for he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law. 9For this, “YOU SHALL NOT COMMIT ADULTERY, YOU SHALL NOT MURDER, YOU SHALL NOT STEAL, YOU SHALL NOT COVET,” and if there is any other commandment, it is summed up in this saying, “YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.” 10Love does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.
11Do this, knowing the time, that it is already the hour for you to awaken from sleep; for now salvation is nearer to us than when we believed. 12The night is almost gone, and the day is near. Therefore let us lay aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light. 13Let us behave properly as in the day, not in carousing and drunkenness, not in sexual promiscuity and sensuality, not in strife and jealousy. 14But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh in regard to its lusts.
Here we see the commandments given to Moses recited, but then we see Jesus' commandment supersedes them all. LOVE! For if you have His love you have fulfilled the law.
Our son (Jesus) is not living a godly life. We pray for him daily to be filled with Jesus' love. Maybe you too, could pray for him?
As time goes by we see the world and its occupants racing faster and faster towards destruction. If you have studied the Book of Revelation you understand what is yet to come. Put on the armor of Light and shine as never as before so others will be drawn into the salvation that you have received. Put on our Lord Jesus Christ and display Him proudly!
Do you behave properly? What would Jesus think of your behavior?
Blessings, David
