DAILY BREAD OF LIFE

(KJV.)  ROMANS 13:8-10

(8)  Owe no man any thing, but to love one another:  for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.
(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.
(10) Love worketh no ill to his neighbour;  therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.


WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT:

Brethren, if we love the LORD of Hosts, then we ought to be righteous in all our ways;  for, he is righteous and we are his children:  (i)  let us love one another as ourselves;  (ii) do unto others as we will have others to do unto us;  (iii)  if we owe any thing, let us not forget to pay back;  (iv)  if we lack resources to pay back what we owe to others, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, will come to our rescue, if we present our cases before him in prayers and supplications:  he will wipe away all our debts, if we believe in him:  he suffered, died and rose again to pay for all our iniquities:  my friends, he will do it again and again to set us free from all bondage of the enemy, and will keep us save in his arms forevermore.

Brethren, let us show love to one another;  for, love is of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, he showed his love for us through his death and resurrection;  and, if we claimed to love him, but hate ourselves, we lie and the truth is not in us:  but, if we love ourselves, we fulfill the whole law:  case in point,  (i)  if we love ourselves, we shall not plan or do evil to ourselves;   (ii)  when others are in trouble, we shall feel empathy for them, and not rejoice at their hurts;  (iii)  we shall not wish evil against others whom we dislike but pray for them;   (iv)  we shall not envy others but rejoice with them;  (v)  we shall not give evil reports against others to bring them down from their achievements but will help uplift one another:  let us beware, that all these attributes are ungodly and of the adversary;  for, we do not belong to him but our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ;  therefore, let us resist the devil and he will flee away from us forever.

Brethren,  today,  let us forgive those who have hurt us knowingly and unknowingly;  and love them still as Jesus, loves us even though we were sinners, and not worthy of his love:  let us associate ourselves with Jesus, and not with the adversary, by doing good and not evil to others;  for, we are all of the same Father, the Lord of Hosts, and same red blood runs through our veins;  therefore, let us be on the look out for ourselves in this perverse and sinful generation, and love and care for one another through the love of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, forever and evermore.  Amen and Amen!


QUOTE OF THE DAY:

(KJV.)  1 John 4:8  He that loveth not knoweth not God;  for God is love.
