Keeping the Law
“He that loveth another hath fulfilled the law”; “Love is the fulfilling of the law”; “All the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself”; “If ye fulfill the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself, ye do well.”
Jesus Christ fulfilled the law. He sent His Spirit into us at our conversion. Therefore, the law is “fulfilled in us” (not by us). The love we are void of by the first birth, He “sheds abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost” at our second birth, enabling us to fulfill the law, by love
All the law hangs on one hook... love. That should be the Christian’s only hang-up.~ rds
