James 2:8
"If you really keep the Royal law found in Scripture,
'Love your neighbor as yourself,' you are doing right."
NIV
"If ye fulfill the royal law according to the scripture,
Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well."
KJV
Loving our neighbors as ourselves is a royal law because
it was given to us by God Almighty and by our Lord, the
King of kings. We know who our neighbors are because
Jesus told us in the parable of the Good Samaritan. If we
obey this law, our world will become a much better place,
and we will be more like Christ.
Heavenly Father, we give you thanks and praise for the
royal law that leads us on the path to becoming more
like Christ and to better relationships here on earth.
Help us to always obey the royal law in honor of your
grace and love toward us. In Jesus' name. Amen
