“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 first commandment.

The Law Given by Christ

Love fulfills the law, it does not replace it.

  • “First, love is what the law commands, and

the commands are what love fulfills.”

  • “Second, love requires direction and

principles of operation. Love is motivation, but it is not self-interpreting direction.” Sinclair Ferguson
