“If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well:”
James 2:8 KJV
As disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ, we are obedient and our calling is to fulfill the royal law of love as given to us in this Scripture: “You must love and value your neighbor as you love and value yourself”; for keeping this law is the noble way to live. God is love and this love was revealed by Jesus being born as a human and dying on the Cross and rising again from the dead. This is selfless love which humans cannot generate and is birthed in us when we our born again through faith in the finished work of the Cross. To fulfill the royal law of love we are obedient to the Word of God and love with selfless love as Christ loves us. That is the motivation of disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ to go and preach this good news, that we are loved by God, to every creature we meet, and that He removed our iniquity, transgression and sin that separated us from Him. We celebrate the royal law of love by being obedient to our Lord Jesus Christ. Thank You for loving us so much, Lord Jesus! Amen!
