Sermon Series: Romans – Heaven SentTitle: The Debt of LovePassage: Romans 13:8–14Preacher: Robin VonkDate & Time: Sunday 2 November 2025, 9:30 amPaul tells us in Romans 13:8-14 that there’s one debt we can never fully repay—the debt of love. As followers of Jesus, we owe love to one another, not as a burden, but as the natural response to the love we’ve received. The gospel reveals the source of that love: Jesus Christ, who fulfilled the law by giving Himself for us. Through His death and resurrection, He paid the debt of our sin and clothed us with His righteousness, freeing us to live in the light. Now, as people made new in Christ, we are called to “put on the Lord Jesus” and love others as He has loved us. In this sermon, Robin Vonk explores how the gospel transforms duty into delight—calling us to live awake, ready, and radiant with the love of Christ.
