What is the significance of love in fulfilling the law?

Answered in 1 source

Love is the fulfillment of the law, as true love for God and neighbor embodies all commandments.

As stated in Romans 13:10, love does no harm to a neighbor; therefore, love is the fulfilling of the law. This reflects that all commands of God, including the moral and ceremonial stipulations, are ultimately about love. When we genuinely love God and our neighbors, we naturally comply with the law's intent. Jesus highlighted this connection in Mark 12, illustrating that true love transcends mere rule-keeping, directed by a heart transformed by grace. Thus, love should be the motivation behind every action as believers live in obedience to God's commands.
