13: Love is the Fulfillment of the Law – Singing with Inspiration

March 22, 2025 By admin

The studies in this quarter’s pamphlet encourage us to see God’s Love and Justice, just as we may sing in
Hymn 79 – O Love of God, How Strong and True! which is a beautiful theme hymn for our studies.

This week closes our quarter of study on “God’s Love And Justice”. Sabbath afternoon’s introduction gives us a beautiful picture and assurance of the wonderful compassion that is part of love. We sing of this compassion and our God of love in
Hymn 100 – Great Is Thy Faithfulness. Our theme hymn presents itself many times throughout this week.

 As we read through the Ten Commandments on Sunday, I find there are only two hymns that allude to the commandments: 
Hymn 394 – Far From All Care (verse 3), and 
Hymn 447 – Long Upon The Mountains (verse 2).

Our hearts are touched on Tuesday with the 
Marvelous Grace – Hymn 109 that is given by our God, Who gives us the instructions for “the ultimate good of all His people”.

God’s abundant love is clearly presented to us throughout this week, with many hymns giving us a clear view of this abundant love. Here are just a few in our SDA Hymnal (to add to our Theme Hymn) in the section named “Love of God”:

Hymn 75 – The Wonder Of It All,
Hymn 76 – O Love That Wilt Not Let Me Go,
Hymn 77 – O Love Of God Most Full,
Hymn 78 – For God So Loved Us, and then further along in the hymnal we find:
Hymn 148 – O Love How Deep, How Broad,
Hymn 162 – Wondrous Love, and
Hymn 179 – The Wonders of Redeeming Love.

 Please continue to search the scriptures this week to be blessed, and to bless others.

 To learn unknown hymns, you will find the accompaniment music for each one at: https://sdahymnals.com/Hymnal/

 Another great resource is for when there is a hymn you wish to sing but can’t find it in your hymnal. Go to https://www.sdahymnal.org/Search and in the search bar type a special word in that is in the hymn. I am sure you will be amazed at the help you will be given.

  2 Timothy 2:15 KJV – “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.”

13: Love is the Fulfillment of the Law — Teaching Plan

March 22, 2025 By admin

Key Thought: God’s law refers to relationships, a correct expression of our love for God and others, and finds its fulfilment in love.
March 29, 2025

  1. Ask class members to share a short thought on what the most important point is in this passage.
  2. What do these verses tell us about the law after Christ died?
  3. Personal Application: How do you respond to someone who says the Ten Commandments are just a bunch of rules? Share your thoughts.
  4. Case Study: One of your relatives states, “I that He was talking about the law of love, not the Ten Commandments. All we have to do is love God and others and we are keeping His law.” How would you respond to your relative?

  1. Ask class members to share a thought on what the most important point in this text is.
  2. What do these verses teach about God’s promise to give us a new heart?
  3. Personal Application: Is it practical for our church to be involved in community activism concerning love and justice in social and political issues? Share your thoughts.
  4. Case Study: One of your friends states, “What is your hope in the judgment: law-keeping or Christ’s righteousness and grace? If the second is true, why do you think we should keep the commandments then? ” How would you respond to your friend?

3. Have a volunteer read James 2:1-9.

  1. Ask class members to share a short thought on what the most important point in this text is.
  2. What crucial messages are given here?
  3. Personal Application: What separates the sheep from the goats? Why isn’t Jesus teaching legalism in these passages? Share your thoughts.
  4. Case Study: One of your neighbors states: “What does keeping the Sabbath on Saturday instead of Sunday have to do with loving God more than those who keep Sunday? What does that have to do with justice and righteousness?” How would you respond to your neighbor?

4. Have a volunteer read Exodus 20:1-17. 

  1. Ask class members to share a thought on what the most important point in this text is.
  2. How do these verses reveal the love for God and the love for others?
  3. Personal Application: Can we express love for God and love for others if we are violating one of the commandments? Share your thoughts.
  4. Case Study: Think of one person who needs to hear a message from this week’s lesson. Tell the class what you plan to do this week to share with them.

(Truth that is not lived, that is not imparted, loses its life-giving power, its healing virtue. Its blessings can be retained only as it is shared. ”Ministry of Healing, p. 148).

Lesson 13.Love Is the Fulfillment of the Law | 13.1 The Law of Love | THE GOD OF LOVE AND JUSTICE | LIVING FAITH

March 22, 2025 By admin

13.1 The Law of Love
The Ten Commandments – An Expression of Lived Love
Read Exodus 20:1–17. How do these verses reveal the two principles of love for God and love for others?
The Ten Commandments in Exodus 20:1–17 wonderfully reveal the divine order founded on love—love for God and love for one’s neighbor. These two principles lie at the heart of God’s character and thus at the heart of His law.
Jesus Himself made it clear in Matthew 22:37–40 that all commandments rest on two foundational pillars:
  1. Love for God – visible in the first four commandments:
    • No other gods
    • No idols
    • Do not misuse God’s name
    • Keep the Sabbath holy
These commandments show how we are to approach God with reverence, devotion, and trust.
  1. Love for one’s neighbor – expressed in the last six commandments:
    • Honor your father and mother
    • You shall not kill
    • You shall not commit adultery
    • You shall not steal
    • You shall not lie
    • You shall not covet
These commandments help us live a life of respect, faithfulness, honesty, and justice—an expression of genuine love for others.
The idea that one no longer needs to keep the law as long as one “just loves” is contradictory, because the law first shows us what love looks like. Without the law, love would be an arbitrary concept, dependent on feelings and interpretation. But God has given us clear standards on how love is to be lived out—through His commandments.
True love leads to obedience, not out of a sense of duty, but from a heart filled by God. Whoever loves God wants to please Him—and does so by respecting and living by His Word. Therefore, love and law are not opposites but inseparable partners.
“For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments; and His commandments are not burdensome.” (1 John 5:3)
In this sense, the law is not a contradiction to love but its practical unfolding.
How could we express our love for God or for others if we break one of the Ten Commandments?
This is a very important and profound question because it touches the core of what it truly means to love God and our neighbor.
If we break one of the Ten Commandments, we essentially deny the love we claim to have for God or for other people. Why?
  1. Love is shown through actions
    Love is not just a feeling or a nice word—it shows itself very concretely in our behavior.
    If someone says, “I love you,” but constantly lies, hurts, or disrespects you, then those words are empty.
    It’s the same with our relationship to God. Jesus says in John 14:15:
    “If you love Me, you will keep My commandments.”
  2. Breaking the law harms the relationship
    • If we love God, for example, we will not worship other gods or misuse His name.
    • If we love people, we will not steal from them, lie to them, or harm them—physically or emotionally.
Breaking a commandment is always a break with love—because we disregard the well-being of the other person or God’s honor.
  1. God seeks a genuine heart-connection
    God sees the heart. When we stumble, He is merciful—but we must return to Him with a sincere heart. This means:
    • Recognize and confess our guilt
    • Ask for forgiveness
    • Realign ourselves—in love and obedience
True love is also revealed in our willingness to repent and in our desire to do God’s will.
Conclusion
A life that ignores God’s commandments cannot express true love—neither to God nor to people. Love becomes visible through obedience to what God has defined as good and right. Therefore, the attitude of our hearts is crucial: do we truly want to love the way God loves? Then it will be reflected in our lives—through faithfulness, honesty, respect, and devotion.
“Love does no harm to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.” (Romans 13:10)
God’s law—an expression of His love—is not just a theological idea or a topic for church. It directly influences our daily lives. The Ten Commandments are meant not only to regulate our behavior but also to shape our hearts. They show us how faith can be lived out in everyday life.
Here are some concrete connections:
  1. Faith is demonstrated in everyday life through lived love
    If we want to love God and our neighbor, it is not enough to talk about it in church—we have to make it tangible in our daily lives:
    • In the family through respect, patience, and forgiveness (e.g., “Honor your father and mother”).
    • In the workplace through honesty, reliability, and fairness (e.g., “You shall not steal”).
    • In traffic, in conversations, on social media—everywhere we interact with people, we show how deeply we have internalized God’s commandments.
  2. The law as a mirror for our daily actions
    The commandments help us reflect on our own behavior:
    • Am I truthful in my speech and actions?
    • Do I respect other people’s boundaries?
    • Does my leisure time negatively impact my relationship with God (e.g., the Sabbath)?
    • Do I covet what belongs to others instead of being thankful for what God has given me?
In these questions, the law becomes alive and personal—it accompanies us throughout our day and helps us grow in love.
  1. When we fail: grace and realignment
    We are not perfect. But if we break a commandment, God does not call us to condemnation but to repentance and to renewing our relationship with Him and others. In everyday life, this means:
    • Not remaining proud or stubborn but admitting mistakes
    • Asking for forgiveness—from God and, if necessary, from people
    • Beginning anew—strengthened by God’s grace
  2. A testimony to others
    People observe our lives. When we live in love, truth, and integrity, our daily life becomes a living testimony for God. Obeying the commandments out of love is a powerful expression of our faith—not as compulsion, but as fruit of our relationship with Jesus.
In summary:
The law of love affects every area of our lives:
  • Our speech
  • Our thinking
  • Our actions
  • Our decisions
  • Our relationships
It is not a rigid standard but a living guide on how we can live in God’s love—day by day. Thus, our everyday life becomes the place where faith becomes visible.
“Blessed are those who hear the word of God and keep it.” (Luke 11:28)
Would you like to go through some everyday examples of how each commandment can be practiced concretely?

True love is not shown merely in words, but in faithfully living according to God’s commandments.

23.03.2025 – 2 John Chapter 1 | BELIEVE HIS PROPHETS

March 22, 2025 By admin

📖 The Message of the Second Epistle of John
🧾 Overview:
The Second Epistle of John is a very short letter (only 13 verses) but rich in content. It was written by the Apostle John – presumably addressed to a church (symbolically referred to as “the chosen lady”) or to an exemplary Christian woman and her family. The letter focuses on two central themes: love and truth – while also warning against false teachers.

✉ Central Message:
1.Truth and love are inseparably linked.
John emphasizes that a life in the truth of God (i.e., in accordance with the Gospel) becomes visible through lived-out love.
Truth without love becomes harsh – love without truth becomes arbitrary.
2.Obedience is expressed in love.
The love Christians are called to is not merely a feeling, but is made concrete by keeping God’s commandments – especially the command to love one another (vv. 5–6).
3.Warning against false teachers.
John clearly warns against those who deny the doctrine of Christ – particularly that Jesus came in the flesh (v. 7). These are described as “deceivers” and “antichrists.” Such individuals should not be supported or welcomed (vv. 10–11), in order to avoid sharing in their evil deeds.

🧠 Core Statement:
“Walk in the truth and love one another – but beware of those who have left the truth.”

✅ Relevance for Today:
The Second Epistle of John is just as relevant today as it was back then. In an age where tolerance is often valued above truth, this letter reminds us that true Christian fellowship must be built on the solid foundation of truth and love – and that it is a spiritual responsibility to consciously distance ourselves from false teachings.

 

March 23, 2024
DAILY BIBLE READING – 2 Johannes Chapter 1
1 The elder unto the elect lady and her children, whom I love in the truth; and not I only, but also all they that have known the truth;
2 For the truth’s sake, which dwelleth in us, and shall be with us for ever.
3 Grace be with you, mercy, and peace, from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.
4 I rejoiced greatly that I found of thy children walking in truth, as we have received a commandment from the Father.
5 And now I beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment unto thee, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another.
6 And this is love, that we walk after his commandments. This is the commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it.
7 For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.
8 Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward.
9 Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.
10 If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed:
11 For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.
12 Having many things to write unto you, I would not write with paper and ink: but I trust to come unto you, and speak face to face, that our joy may be full.
13 The children of thy elect sister greet thee. Amen.
King James Version. Public Domain

 

Commentary
🟦 Introduction
The Second Epistle of John is short but powerful. In just 13 verses, the Apostle John summarizes key elements of the Christian faith: truth, love, and vigilance. He addresses it to a “chosen lady and her children,” which can literally refer to a family or symbolically to a church. In a time of increasing false teachings and spiritual confusion, this letter calls us to stand firmly in the truth, live in genuine love, and remain spiritually alert.

🟨 Commentary
Greeting in Truth and Love (Verses 1–3)
John speaks as “the Elder” and emphasizes his love for the “chosen lady and her children” – in the truth. This truth is not merely a doctrine but a living reality that remains in us and unites us.
   🟣 Truth and love are the two foundational pillars of Christian fellowship.
Encouragement to Live in Love and Obedience (Verses 4–6)
John rejoices over children (perhaps spiritual descendants) who walk in the truth. The love for one another is not a new commandment – but the old, enduring one given from the beginning.

   🟣 True love is shown through obedience to God’s commandments – not just words.

Warning Against False Teachers (Verses 7–11)
A serious tone: many deceivers have gone out into the world who deny the incarnation of Christ. John links such people with the antichrist.
He warns:
  • Be careful not to lose what we have built (v. 8)
  • Only those who remain in Christ’s teaching have God (v. 9)
  • Do not offer hospitality to such deceivers (vv. 10–11)
       🟣 Avoiding false teaching is not unloving – it protects the church and the truth.
Conclusion (Verses 12–13)
John longs for personal fellowship – not just written communication.

   🟣 True fellowship completes our joy – and that still holds true today.


🟩 Summary

The Second Epistle of John calls us to live in truth and love.
Truth without love is cold; love without truth is empty.
John gives a strong warning against false teachers who deny Christ and urges clear separation from them. At the same time, he highlights the value of sincere, personal fellowship among believers.

🟥 Message for Us Today
  • Stay rooted in God’s truth, even when the world relativizes it.
  • Live genuine love, shown through obedience to God’s Word.
  • Be watchful of teachings that deny Jesus Christ – even if they appear modern, tolerant, or spiritual.
  • Cultivate real fellowship that goes beyond digital interactions. Face-to-face connection strengthens our faith.
👉 In a time when truth and love are often set against each other, this letter reminds us:
They belong together – in Christ.

 

 

WEEKLY SPIRIT OF PROPHECY READING – Ellen White | Steps to Christ
Chapter 10—A Knowledge of God

Read online here

 

Commentary
🟦 Introduction
Chapter 10 is a profound call to recognize God’s nature, actions, and love in creation, in His Word, and in our own lives. Creation, the Word of God, and the influence of the Holy Spirit are three central ways in which God connects with us. This reflection invites us to contemplate God’s glory and to know Him more deeply.

🟨 Commentary
1.God Reveals Himself in Nature
Nature constantly speaks of its Creator. Whoever has an open heart and a listening ear can hear the voice of God in creation. Jesus’ parables drawn from nature show how closely heaven and earth are connected. Nature is not only meant to be admired but also to be a teacher and a mediator between God and humanity.
2.God’s Care Is All-Encompassing
From the universe to the sparrow, from the palace to the simplest meal – God’s gaze rests on everyone. This all-embracing love is meant to free us from fear and lead us into deep peace.
3.The Glory to Come
The beauty we now see is only a faint reflection of what God has prepared for those who love Him. The hope of a world without sin and death brings comfort and perspective.
4.The Bible as a Source of Knowledge
God speaks to us through His Word. In it, Christ is revealed. The Holy Spirit helps us to understand these truths. Scripture is clear, accessible, and intended for everyone. But it is not surface reading, rather deep study that brings true understanding.
5.The Effect of the Word on Our Lives
Just as natural food strengthens the body, the Word of God strengthens our spiritual life. Meditation, prayer, and the Holy Spirit work together to transform our character and make us more like Christ.

🟩 Summary
God reveals Himself in many ways – through nature, through His Word, and through the Holy Spirit. Those who are willing to listen will recognize His voice. The Bible is the clearest expression of His will. Only through deep study, prayer, and humility can we truly grasp God’s nature. His love is evident in His care for both the smallest and the greatest. Reflecting on these truths leads to the transformation of our hearts.

🟥 Message for Us Today
  • Be attentive to God’s voice in nature and in everyday life.
  • Take time for God’s Word and study it with dedication.
  • Ask the Holy Spirit for understanding and guidance.
  • Let God’s care comfort and guide you.
  • Live with your eyes fixed on the glory to come.
God’s knowledge is not secret wisdom but an invitation to relationship.
Whoever seeks will find. Whoever listens will understand. And whoever believes will be transformed.

The God of Love and Justice – Lesson 13.Love Is the Fulfillment of the Law | Sabbath School with Pastor Mark Finley

March 22, 2025 By admin

Series THE GOD OF LOVE AND JUSTICE with Pastor Mark Finley  |
Lesson 13.Love Is the Fulfillment of the Law  |
Law of Love – From Obedience to a Heart-to-Heart Relationship 
|
Lesson 13 leads us to the core of what Christian life is about: the connection between God’s law and His love. Often, the law is perceived as something strict and burdensome – but in truth, it is an expression of God’s character and care. Jesus himself showed that love is the deepest fulfillment of the law. Whoever loves God will gladly do His will and honor their neighbor. This lesson invites us to view law and grace not as opposites, but as two sides of the same divine truth. For where true love exists, the law is not only kept – it is lived.
Memory Text: Romans 13:8 – “Owe no one anything except to love one another, for he who loves another has fulfilled the law.”
Content:
13.1 The Law of Love
The Ten Commandments – An Expression of Lived Love
God’s law is not a list of abstract rules, but an expression of His love and His desire for relationship. The Ten Commandments reflect the two great commandments of love: love for God and love for one’s neighbor. Even in the Garden of Eden, these principles were fundamental. Jesus shows that the entire law rests on these two pillars. True love is demonstrated through obedience – not as compulsion, but as a response to redemption. Whoever loves God and their neighbor will not bypass God’s commandments but will recognize in them the practical form of love.
13.2 The Law Is Holy and Righteous and Good
The Law – A Reflection of God’s Love and Holiness
God’s law is not only a moral guideline, but also an expression of His perfect character – holy, just, and good. It remains central even after the Cross, for it reveals sin and our dependence on Christ. Through the death of Jesus, the law was not abolished, but confirmed and honored. Grace and law are not in contradiction – on the contrary, grace highlights the significance of the law. Whoever loves Christ will observe His law, not out of obligation, but as a response to His love. In this light, Jesus’ words “If you love me, keep my commandments” become an invitation to a lived relationship.
13.3 Law and Grace
Grace and Law – Two Paths, One Goal: Salvation in Love
Law and grace do not contradict each other – they complement one another in God’s plan of salvation. The law shows us God’s will and our condition, but only grace can save us and transform the heart. The rebirth through the Holy Spirit does not inscribe God’s law on stone tablets, but upon the heart. We obey not to earn love, but because we are already loved and redeemed. The law remains our moral compass, while grace is the engine that moves us. Our hope lies not in our lawfulness, but in the righteousness of Christ that covers us.
13.4 Love is the Fulfillment of the Law
Love that Acts – The Law Lived in the Heart
Love is not only the goal of the law – it is its very essence. Paul makes it clear that the law finds its full fulfillment in love for one’s neighbor. Yet true love does not remain theoretical; it becomes practical – in mercy, justice, and faithfulness. Particularly, the Sabbath commandment shows how closely God’s law is linked with liberation and care. Whoever wishes to fulfill the law not only refrains from doing evil but actively seeks the good for others. Loving according to God’s standard means turning away from oneself and seeking the well-being of one’s neighbor – thus, the law is made alive.
13.5 Above All, Love One Another
Love that Changes the World – Christianity in Action
True love, as defined by the law, goes far beyond merely avoiding evil – it demands active goodness. James calls for justice and a lived love for one’s neighbor, especially toward the weak and disadvantaged. Jesus himself makes love the hallmark of His disciples: a love that shows itself in everyday life, not just in words, but in deeds. Ellen White reminds us that this love prepares us for heaven, for it already brings heaven into our hearts. The love with which Christ loved the world is both the measure and the goal. Only those who love in this way are truly ready for eternal life – for they partake in the nature of God.
13.6 Summary
Divine Love as the Heart of the Law
Lesson 13 makes it clear that God’s law is founded on love – love for God and for one’s neighbor. The Ten Commandments are not mere rules but the expression of a living relationship. Christ did not come to abolish the law but to fulfill it in its depth and write it on our hearts. Grace does not abolish the law; it empowers us to live it out of love. True love is shown in actively doing good – not merely by refraining from evil. Whoever loves as Christ does fulfills the law and reflects God’s character in the world.
