(Lesson 2022)(05-16-17) Romans 13:6-10
"For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing. Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour. Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law. 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. Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law."
Today's quote relates that, as the children of God, not only are we to obey the laws of our land, but we are also to pay the taxes that are imposed upon us as well as our debts to others.
Paul also said, "love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law". If we truly love one another we will do nothing that might bring harm to someone else. Being a child of God is easy, we are only required to treat others as we would have them treat us.
"Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law."~
