What does the Bible say about love fulfilling the law?

Answered in 5 sources

The Bible states that love is the fulfilling of the law, as seen in Romans 13:10 and Matthew 22:37-40.

According to Romans 13:10, love does not work ill to one's neighbor, and thus, love is the fulfillment of the law. In Matthew 22, Jesus emphasizes this concept by quoting the greatest commandment: to love God with all your heart, soul, and mind, followed by loving one's neighbor as oneself. This principle highlights that genuine love towards God and others encapsulates the entire moral law, revealing our duties and responsibilities as believers. However, it also points to our failure in perfectly fulfilling these commands, illustrating our need for Christ.
