Fulfilling The Law With Love


When questioned about which commandment was the greatest, Jesus responded:
“And He said to him, ” ‘YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND.’ This is the great and foremost commandment. The second is like it, ‘YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.’ On these two commandments depend the whole Law and the Prophets.”

(Matthew 22:37-40 NASB)

So we find the whole law and prophets depends on love. 

We also know from God’s truth that Jesus said:

 “Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish but to fulfill.”

(Matthew 5:17 NASB)

So in essence Jesus loved the law into completion. His love in action did something that our performance never never do. It perfectly satisfied every requirements of the law and reconciled our relationship with our Father in heaven.
