Week 35 · Season 5 · Step 9: Direct Amends
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.
