How do we know that love fulfills the law?

Answered in 1 source

We know love fulfills the law because Paul states in Romans 13:10 that love does no harm to a neighbor, thus embodying the law.

According to Romans 13:10, love is the fulfilling of the law since it inherently prevents harm to others. If we genuinely love someone, we will not wish ill upon them or violate their rights. This concept underscores the idea that the essence of God's law is rooted in love—love for God and love for others. In obeying the command to love, we naturally align ourselves with the moral imperatives given by God, as love encompasses all righteous behavior prescribed in the law. Therefore, when we act out of love, we are living in accordance with God's design as outlined in Scripture.
