Paul's directive in Romans 13:8 is not a shift to financial advice but a continuation of his focus on love as the fulfillment of God's commandments, emphasizing that we are always in debt to love others.

Ultimately, our focus should be on living a life of grace, mercy, and righteousness, as these qualities will create a legacy that endures far beyond any material wealth we might leave behind.

“My grace is sufficient for you” threatens not to satisfy in our more-is-better world.

“Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.”
