Theme: Freed by Christ for loving service in the power of the Spirit

What is God’s law now? It is not above a Christian – it is under a Christian…it is for him to walk on, to be his guide, his rule, his pattern… – CH Spurgeon

What does it mean, in practical terms, to serve one another in love? It involved performing unimportant works such as the following: teaching the erring; comforting the afflicted; encouraging the weak; helping the neighbour in whatever way one can; bearing with his rude manners and impoliteness; putting up with annoyances, labours, and the ingratitude and contempt of men in both church and state; obeying the magistrates; treating one’s parents with respect; being patient in the home with a cranky wife and an unmanageable family, and the like. – M Luther
