Saturday's Verse of the Day Devotional

Good morning! The Ten Commandments are in two categories: How we are to love and treat God and how we are to love and treat people. Paul is talking about the last six that deal with loving people. They can be summed up into one thing.

God gave the command in Leviticus to love your neighbor as yourself. If you love them that way, it covers not being a thief, covetous, adulterers, murderers, liars and the like. Love doesn't intentionally harm. It seeks to do good to others with dignity, honor and respect.

Love is the fulfillment of the law. Jesus fulfilled the law by showing us the love of God. He laid down His life for us that we could become children of God and be forgiven. Jesus didn't fulfill the law just out of some civic or religious duty. He did it out of love. Let His love live in you to be able to love your neighbor as yourself and to always make a great day!
