What does the Bible say about love and the law?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that love fulfills the law, as love inherently works no ill toward others.

Romans 13:8 clearly states that we owe no man anything except to love one another, emphasizing that love is the fulfilling of the law. This principle is reiterated in Galatians 5:14, where it is said that all the law is fulfilled in one commandment: to love your neighbor as yourself. Love does not seek to harm others but promotes their well-being, which aligns with God's commandments prohibiting actions like stealing, bearing false witness, and coveting. When we love sincerely, we naturally adhere to God's moral law.
