GOING DEEPER Rom 13.8 – “…for whoever loves others has fulfilled the law.” How will the above help with our spiritual growth (God’s Word), our Christian character (becoming like Christ), the church as God’s witnesses (Great Commission), or as God’s instrument to bring some comfort to neglected people (feed the hungry)?
