Owe, no one anything but love because love is the fulfillment of the old testament law.
When we look at this verse in Romans 13:8, we see two subjects, both of them essential to our ongoing life in Christ.
The first subject is a major one that affects our life in 100 different ways. That's the subject of living debt-free. Paul said to owe no man anything but love. It's an interesting pushback that you get from most people in this society that when you speak of living debt-free, you have to be kidding me, they say. We have been conditioned by the banks' credit card companies etc., to live on credit. Just charge it; they say everything else will be fine.
But everything is not fine when all the bills come due, and you find out you don't have enough to pay the man. Most of us that have lived a while have learned the hard way not to go into debt. The scriptures tell us that the borrower is a servant to the lender.
If you don't think that's true, don't pay your credit card this month and wait for the phone calls to start coming. If you wait another month or two, the threats will follow.
So Paul said don't go into debt; the only thing you owe to this world around you is to love them.
The second subject is the one of love and that it fulfills the law of God, especially the 10 Commandments. In short, when you love, it's impossible to steal , kill, commit adultery, or be greedy. So that pretty well wipes out the 10 Commandments.
No wonder Jesus gave us only two Commandments; love the Lord your God with all your heart and your neighbor as yourself. How simple can I get? Just love one another, and life becomes so sweet.
