Love: Our Never-ending Christian Debt-Romans 13:8-10

Charles Spurgeon had said, "Love and self-denial for the object loved go hand-in-hand. If I profess to love a certain person, and yet will neither give my silver nor my gold to relieve his wants, nor in any way deny myself comfort or ease for his sake, such love is contemptible; it wears the name, but lacks the reality of love: true love must be measured by the degree to which the person loving will be willing to subject himself to crosses and losses, to suffering and self-denials. After all, the value of a thing in the market is what a man will give for it, and you must estimate the value of the man's love by that which he is willing to give up for it." So how about you, dear Christian friend? Is it characteristic of you to be a 'Good Samaritan' that exercises love in the various providential opportunities that the Lord provides? Are you looking to better understand the necessity and ways in which we can fulfill the law of love so that we can better demonstrate our love for God by love for neighbor? Join us this coming Lord's Day as we continue our studies in the book of Romans, as we look at 13:8-10, "Love, Our Never-Ending Christian Debt."
