What does the Bible say about love fulfilling the law?

Answered in 3 sources

The Bible teaches that love is the fulfillment of the law, as found in Romans 13:8-10.

In Romans 13:8-10, the Apostle Paul emphasizes that love is the key principle underlying the law. He states, 'Owe no man anything, but to love one another; for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.' This highlights the centrality of love in the Christian life, asserting that all commandments are essentially summed up in the call to love one’s neighbor as oneself. This is not merely an emotional sentiment but an active commitment to the well-being of others, reflecting the love that God has shown us through Christ. When we love others selflessly, we do not harm them, and in this way, love becomes both a guiding principle and a fulfilling of the law.
