The Law of Love (Romans 13:8–10) | Loving God by Loving Others
Continuing a study in Romans 13, the sermon reviews being a Christ-like citizen—submitting to authority and paying dues while recognizing the Bible as the final authority—and then focuses on Romans 13:8–10: “Owe no man any thing, but to love one another.” The speaker explains that love is the one ongoing debt Christians never finish paying and that devotion to God is inseparably connected to devotion to others. Using Matthew 22, Galatians 5, Matthew 25, and 1 John 4, he teaches that agape love is sacrificial action, not mere feeling, and fulfills the moral law by seeking a neighbor’s good, avoiding harm, and serving—even “the least of these.” The message concludes with a gospel call, urging faith in Christ’s saving grace and a transformed life that expresses God’s love through loving others.
