We owe love to our neighbor
As children of God we have a debt that we have to repay to our neighbor. We have to make payments on this debt every day. This debt is to love our neighbor. It says in Romans 13:8 (NKJV) “ Owe no one anything except to love one
another, for he who loves another has fulfilled the law.” So the Apostle Paul is sharing with us here that we should stay out of financial debt but we are always indebted to our neighbor to love them. As a part of the indebtedness, we are to treat everyone with dignity, respect and as valuable. There is a saying in the world that people have to earn respect. Actually we owe it to our neighbor to give them respect. It should flow naturally out of us to other people. From this love peace also flows. We should strive to speak words that bring peace into others lives. This love also doesn't try to put pressure on people to manipulate them. This love strives to bring the best out of their neighbor.
