But Jesus answered and said to him, “Permit it to be so now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness.” – Matthew 3:13

Love is the covenant of God and the fulfillment of all righteousness. Jesus fulfilled the covenant, making way for those who belong to Him. Without love, the rightousness can not be fulfilled.

All rightousness, is the right standing with God. God is the God of order and he does not permit the sinners to enter his Kingdom without Jesus. The salvation is only the first step to a never-ending walk with God. He leads us to eternity continuously. Jesus didn’t just took the sin of people for our sake, but also for the sake of the Father, by defeating satan once and for all. All satanic forces and fallen principalities are defeated. They still exist, but that too is the mercy of God. Once we cross this life, we are never going to face those forces again. Some of us will continue and others will be left behind. All serves the plans and purposes of God.

From now on, our battles are spiritual. But there is a point where even they will cease. The peace of God crushes satan but the love of God continues.

Father, in the name of Jesus, I thank you for the salvation of my soul. I leave all those who are to be saved in your hands, as I continue in Christ Jesus. From henceforth, let no man trouble me. Amen.
