The fulfillment of the law

[Faithful Son]

Romans 13:8-14

8Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for he who loves his fellowman has fulfilled the law. 9The commandments, "Do not commit adultery," "Do not murder," "Do not steal," "Do not covet," and whatever other commandment there may be, are summed up in this one rule: "Love your neighbor as yourself." 10Love does no harm to its neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.

11And do this, understanding the present time. The hour has come for you to wake up from your slumber, because our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed. 12The night is nearly over; the day is almost here. So let us put aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light. 13Let us behave decently, as in the daytime, not in orgies and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and debauchery, not in dissension and jealousy. 14Rather, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not think about how to gratify the desires of the sinful nature.

Jesus said: "John 14:6
I am the way, the truth , and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."
KJV


He also said: "John 3:3
I say unto thee, Except a man be born again , he cannot see the kingdom of God."
KJV

Slim A man (or woman), must repent of their sins and accept Christ as his/her personal Saviour, because only through Christ can we hope to see the kingdom of God.
