Love of Neighbor (178)
  1. Whoever your president is, you have a King. A King who elected you.
  2. This new life is marked not by fear of death but hope in eternal life.
  3. We need a God who acts for us, each of us in particular. We need a God who sticks to His Word that He will never abandon or forsake us.
  4. Elections and presidents and politics and voting. Repent and believe the good news! Everything will be ok.
  5. God uses the fifth commandment to protect us from selfishness, prevent us from only thinking about our needs, and to drive us to Christ and our neighbors.
  6. Christ crucified is at the heart of both our freedom from sin and death and our freedom to serve and love our neighbor.
  7. Our freedom as Christians is not a form of independence. Our freedom in Christ comes from our dependence on him.
  8. This is an excerpt from Adam Francisco’s conclusion in “The Freedom of the Christian” written by Martin Luther and translated and edited by Adam Francisco (1517 Publishing, 2020). Pgs. 57-59.
  9. Understanding that I am completely free in Christ allows me to read the injunction to “love my neighbor as myself” as a promise instead of a threat.
  10. The love God showed for us in the death of his Son continues in us because we remain his children as long as we are incorporated in the body of Jesus through faith.
  11. The theme of guardianship permeates Christian observances of Michaelmas, unifying this wide variety of celebrations.
