We can never finish loving one another, so the debt of love continues. Jesus summarised the Law as loving God absolutely, and loving neighbours as oneself (Matt. 22:37-40). We never plan to offend or harm those we love. Loving God is a greater motivation than obeying commands. A rich young man came to Jesus and left sad because, despite his vast wealth and religious devotion, he could not share such riches with the poor and needy around him (Matthew 19:16-24).
