Psalm 99 (ESV)
The LORD Our God Is Holy
1
The LORD reigns; let the peoples tremble!
He sits enthroned upon the cherubim; let the earth quake!
2
The LORD is great in Zion;
he is exalted over all the peoples.
3
Let them praise your great and awesome name!
Holy is he!
4
The King in his might loves justice.
You have established equity;
you have executed justice
and righteousness in Jacob.
5
Exalt the LORD our God;
worship at his footstool!
Holy is he!
6
Moses and Aaron were among his priests,
Samuel also was among those who called upon his name.
They called to the LORD, and he answered them.
7
In the pillar of the cloud he spoke to them;
they kept his testimonies
and the statute that he gave them.
8
O LORD our God, you answered them;
you were a forgiving God to them,
but an avenger of their wrongdoings.
9
Exalt the LORD our God,
and worship at his holy mountain;
for the LORD our God is holy!
Romans 13:8-10 (ESV)
Fulfilling the Law Through Love
8
Owe no one anything, except to love each other, for the one who loves another has fulfilled
the law. 9 For the commandments, “You shall not commit adultery, You shall not murder,
You shall not steal, You shall not covet,” and any other commandment, are summed up in
this word: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” 10 Love does no wrong to a neighbor;
therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.
Romans: Wholehearted Christian Living

Debt
(Deut 15:6, Deut 23:19,20, Luke 6:34,35)
c) “Love does no harm… is the fulfilment of the law” (v10)
1. How did we get into this debt to love?
•
•
from a verb (v8) to a noun (v10)
•
from knowing you are loved (1 John 4:19)

Conclusion
2. To whom should we repay this debt of love?
•
Rom 1:14, 15
•
Let us commit to repaying this continuing debt of love out of a
deep sense of knowing we are loved and that we are to love.

Luke 6:32,33
c) a neighbour (v10)
Luke 10:27-35
He Paid My Debt!
He paid a debt He did not owe,
I owed a debt I could not pay,
I needed someone, to wash my sins away.
And now I sing a brand new song,
Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
Christ Jesus paid a debt that I could never pay!
