- Unless we give our lives to the Lord through love, we will never give all that He wants us to. Thus saith the Lord, our service has to be a love service. It cannot be a service of duty or bondage. We must pay our debts of love to the Lord; and the Bible says, Owe no man anything, but to love one another (Romans 13:8).

Romans 13:8a: “Owe nothing to anyone ….” Although some godly Christians, such as George Muller, believed that this phrase prohibits all borrowing, I could not find a single commentator who agreed. There are many Scriptures that regulate, but do not prohibit, debt and borrowing (Ex. 22:25; Lev. 25:35-37; Deut. 15:7-9; Neh. 5:7; Ps. 15:5; 37:21, 26; ...
Paul says this twice explicitly (13:8, “he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law”; 13:10, “love is the fulfillment of the law”) and a third time implicitly (“it is summed up,” 13:9). Why does Paul bring up God’s law here? Earlier in Romans (6:14) he has made the point that we are not under law, but under grace. We have died to the law in Chr...

And Romans 12–16 displays the effect of that love in us as we love others. In Romans 5:8 Paul says, “God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”
We have a continuing debt to love each other, for this fulfills the whole law of God. Paul was not saying that the only law is the law of love, but the ultimate fulfillment of God’s law, the ultimate expression of the His law, is the love of people.

Jul 31, 2005 · So the answer to the second question is: The debt of love that we owe to others is paid as the spill over of our love for God. The satisfaction that we have in God—through life and death—is the freedom with which all our human debts are paid—freely!
God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him. By this is love perfected with us, so that we may have confidence for the day of judgment, because as he is so also are we in this world. There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear.
