Shield of Broader Restitution

Amends to Others

Shield of Faith · Romans 13:8

“Owe no one anything, except to love each other…”

Romans 13:8 · ESV

Big idea

Addressing harm done to friends, employers, community; financial and social restitution.

Romans 13:8: owe no one anything, except to love each other. Broader restitution reaches friends, employers, and community. Sometimes that is money. Sometimes it is a true story where a false one was told. Luke 19:8 remains the model — generous, concrete, more than the minimum.

Complete at least one amends to a friend, employer, or community member. Pray for financial or social restitution as needed. Use Luke 19:8 as your pattern. Report the outcome to your partner.

Spiritual practice

Use Luke 19:8 as your model for restitution.
