A new commandment

Love is the fulfillment of the Law
Every now and then people ask me why I write about the Ten Commandments. Didn't Jesus came to free us from the Law? Didn't Jesus came to fulfill the Law? Why write about something that has been fulfilled? We cannot do what Jesus did.
Well, Jesus taught me to answer a question with another question. So I challenge everyone who isn't sure about this law thing; When Jesus gave us the new commandment to love another as He loved us (John 13:34), was He commanding us to do something, yes or no?
If your answer is no, you don't believe what Jesus said. If your answer is yes, you know what to do: love one another. Do you realize what that means, to love one another?

Love is the fulfillment of the Law (Romans 13:10).

In loving others we fulfill the Law, just like Jesus did when He loved us. Yes, we can and must follow in his footsteps and do what we are told to do. This book series will open your eyes to the words of Jesus when He said He came to fulfill the Law. You will see what His plan for the New Testament generation is. Freedom in fulfillment! Romans 8:2 says:

For the law of the Spirit, which brings us life in union with Christ Jesus, has set us free from the law of sin and death.
