Don’t be in debt to anyone, except for the obligation to love each other. Whoever loves another person has fulfilled the Law. The commandments, Don’t commit adultery, don’t murder, don’t steal, don’t desire what others have, and any other commandments, are all summed up in one word: You must love your neighbor as yourself. Love doesn’t do anything wrong to a neighbor; therefore, love is what fulfills the Law. As you do all this, you know what time it is. The hour has already come for you to wake up from your sleep. Now our salvation is nearer than when we first had faith. The night is almost over, and the day is near. So let’s get rid of the actions that belong to the darkness and put on the weapons of light. Let’s behave appropriately as people who live in the day, not in partying and getting drunk, not in sleeping around and obscene behavior, not in fighting and obsession. Instead, dress yourself with the Lord Jesus Christ, and don’t plan to indulge your selfish desires. (Romans 13:8-14, CEB)
There are 10 commandments and they are split into 2 groups. The first is about God and our relationship to God. The second group is about everyone else and our relationship with them.
So we are given commandments to help us love God and commandments to love everyone else. And Isn’t that what Jesus said the commandments were, love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind, and soul and love your neighbor as yourself.
The only thing we owe anyone is love. Not because they earned it, like us with God, but because God loves us and so we love everyone.
Love out Loud.
Loving People. Loving God.
