Are the standards we implement based on what others say and think, or do they spring out of love for the Lord? Not only is love the fulfillment of the Law, but also the essence of the Word itself. Obeying God is simply loving Him back! Beginning in Matthew 22:37–40, Caleb Reed explains God’s design for fulfilling the Law and the prophets. Caleb’s clear illustration will help believers understand and live out the two greatest commands—loving God with all our hearts and loving our neighbor as ourselves.

Very well said. I appreciate the object lesson Caleb! The love of God, expressed in those two wonderful commands, is strong enough to support everything else.
