A debt outstanding.

Most times, in matters of greatest importance, God makes crystal clear his will for us. 

“Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for whoever loves others has fulfilled the law.”

‭‭Romans‬ ‭13‬:‭8‬ ‭NIV‬‬

As a matter of our placement upon this earth, one outlier of indebtedness will always remain. 

Granted forgiveness of all your sins and owning the clearest of consciences will always and still leave a debt of responsibility which can never really be fully repaid or satisfied. 

“Love does no harm to a neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.”

‭‭Romans‬ ‭13‬:‭10‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Love one another is so basic a tenet of the Christian faith it’s found in countless variations throughout the Bible. 

Unfortunately, society often corrupts that tenet for purposes of validating, accepting and condoning certain explicitly forbidden behaviors of some subcultures.

Loving all people is still attainable without validating what they do. Love the sinner, hate the sin. 

And remember, this applies back to you as much as you may apply it to others.
