Example Bible Reference Title
Romans 13:8-10 ESV
Owe no one anything, except to love each other, for the one who loves another has fulfilled the law. For the commandments, "You shall not commit adultery, You shall not murder, You shall not steal, You shall not covet," and any other commandment, are summed up in this word: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself." Love does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.
Romans 12:2
Romans 12:2 ESV
Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.
Sermon Note
The renewed mind understands that the commandments of God are good for us.
Genesis 3:5
Genesis 3:5 ESV
For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil."
Sermon Note
The renewed mind understands that the commandments of God define authentic love.
Leviticus 19:18
Leviticus 19:18 ESV
You shall not take vengeance or bear a grudge against the sons of your own people, but you shall love your neighbor as yourself: I am the Lord.

Small Group Questions
1. Read Romans 13:8-10. 2. Some teachers use Romans 13:8 as proof that a Christian should never incur debt. What do you think? What is Paul’s real point? 3. Why does Jesus say that the whole law depends on loving your neighbor as yourself as does Paul when he says love fulfills the law? 4. According to Paul, what is the one thing love won’t do? (Rom. 13:10). How does “tough love” relate to this? 5. Paul tells us to “love your neighbor as yourself”, a quote from Leviticus 19:18. What does healthy “self-love” look like? How do we transfer that kind of love to others? 6. What are some things we can do to love difficult people in our lives? 7. Take some time to talk about how you can improve your love to those in your family, your small group, and church.
