If God came to you and said, "Will you give up your salvation, under the condition that every person you ever meet for the rest of your life will be saved", would you do it? I hope your answer would be no, because only Jesus has the power to save, and if this were true you would make those people idolaters, BUT I think this is the kind of love we should have as followers of Jesus! It is easy to say you would give up this life for your brother, because this life has nothing for us, but what if God raised the stakes? We need to learn to be absolutely reckless in our love…loving all people with reckless abandonment as though our salvation depended on it, EVEN THOUGH IT CERTAINLY DOES NOT! Praise the Lord!
Romans 13:8 Owe no one anything, except to love each other, for the one who loves another has fulfilled the law. 9 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." 10 Love does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.
