To God Be the Glory
Weeping may endure for a night,
But joy comes in the morning!Slide2
The only law you need
Paul’s point
here is
that
when
we faithfully obey the command to love,
we will
be submissive to authority, pay our bills, and generally live a quiet and peaceable life
because
we are
neither demanding our rights nor taking
vengeance;
instead
, we are giving the
needs of others
first priority. Slide3

Paul didn’t want the Christians to be labeled as another rebellious group like the Jews
Being a member of a
society or nation
has both privileges and responsibilities Slide4
Instead Christians were to:
obey the laws of the land,
respect
those in authority,
pay
their taxesSlide5
Phil 2:14-15
Do all things without complaining and disputing…
Without fault in the midst of a crooked generation…
You shine as lights in the worldSlide6
The only law you need
T

done
The debt of

T
he
only debt we should never consider
paid
up is the debt of loveSlide8
Laws and rules are necessary
The reason we obey the other laws is not just to keep out of
trouble, but
so
that we can serve the needs of
others.
I
don’t need a long list of “don’ts” when I applying the “dos” of

Our
main concern
is
not
whether we are
being
loved
by others
but rather that
we are loving
others.
We don’t keep a running
record or scoreSlide10

Micah 6.8
He has shown you o man, what is good.
And what does the Lord require of you?
But to do justly,
To love mercy,
And to walk humbly with you God.
