How does love fulfill the law according to Scripture?

Answered in 1 source

Love fulfills the law as it embodies the essence of God's commandments.

According to Romans 13:8-10, love is the fulfillment of the law. The commands of God, such as not committing adultery or bearing false witness, find their true expression in love for one another. When we genuinely love others, we naturally uphold these commandments, as love seeks the good of our neighbor. This is why Paul emphasizes that Christians should owe no one anything but love, illustrating that love reflects an inward transformation that aligns with God's righteous requirements. Christian love stems not merely from obligation but from a heart that has been changed by Christ.
