“Now when you have Christ as the foundation and chief blessing of your salvation, then the other part follows: that you take him as your example, giving yourself in service to your neighbor just as you see that Christ has given himself for you. See, there faith and love move forward, God’s commandment is fulfilled, and a person is happy and fearless to do and to suffer all things.”
- Martin Luther, from Basic Theological Writings, p. 95

Mmm..Christ as the foundation and everything outflows from that! Love this!

goes back to how love fulfills the law. sometimes we get wrapped up in the dos and don’ts and get so analytical that we forget the crux of the command is simply “love-God-love-people.”

Amen to this! I am so thankful that it was God who loved first in Christ so that I might love him in return.
