How can love fulfill the law?

Answered in 1 source

Love fulfills the law by demonstrating obedience to God’s commandments through action towards others.

According to Romans 13:10, love is the fulfillment of the law; it transcends mere rule-following and embodies the character of Christ. When we act in love, we align ourselves with God's will and His commandments. This principle is rooted in Jesus’ teaching that the essence of all commands is love—for God and for our neighbors. This understanding of love not as a sentimental feeling but as actionable goodwill pushes believers toward righteous living that reflects God’s glory and serves others, thus upholding the law in a deeper and more profound way.
