The Mark of the King’s Children: Love for All

"If you really fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself,' you do well." (James 2:8)

The law of love is the royal law, and the apostle affirms that those who fulfill it do well. They do well because they obey the command given by the King of Kings. They do well because they live according to the law of the Kingdom, to which they belong. They do well because their love for others reveals their identity as children of the King, reflecting their Father’s heart by loving even the undeserving.
