Hi - Thank you for that comment.
Jesus said in Matt 22 that ALL the Law and the Prophets were firmly founded on "Love"
"Love God with all your heart" Deut 6:5
"Love your neighbor as yourself" Lev 19:18
"40 Upon these two commandments hang the whole Law and the Prophets.”" -- i.e. -- all of scripture depends on LOVE and always has.
That was not "new" with Christ - it was ALWAYS with God and Christ -- is ... God.
same is true of the NEW Covenant Jer 31:31-34 that is unchanged in the NT - Heb 8:6-12 -- where the LAW of God is written on heart and mind.
Rom 8:4-12 "the mind set on the flesh does NOT submit to the LAW of God neither indeed CAN it"
It is not a matter of perfect obedience but not having the right thought - rather it is rebellion vs obedience because there is no such thing as a gospel where the wicked are perfectly obedient to God in some amazing way without being born again and having the Law of God written on the heart.
I don't think God wrote the law of Moses on our hearts?
Jeremiah 31:33
But this is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the Lord,
I will put My law within them and on their heart I will write it; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people.
What law is God talking about here, i.e., what is that law that is written on their hearts by God?
Romans 5:5
And hope does not disappoint, because
the love of God has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.
2 Thessalonians 3:5
May the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God and into the steadfastness of Christ.
Colossians 2:2
That their hearts may be encouraged,
having been knit together in love.
Colossians 3:14
Beyond all these things put on love, which is the
perfect bond of unity.
1 Thessalonians 3:12-13
And may the Lord cause you to increase
and abound in love for one another, and for all people, just as we also do for you; so that He may establish your hearts without blame in holiness before our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all His saints.
Ephesians 3:17
So that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith;
and that you, being rooted and grounded in love.
2 Thessalonians 3:5
May the Lord
direct your hearts into the love of God and into the steadfastness of Christ.
1 Timothy 1:5
But the goal of our instruction
is love from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith.
1 Peter 1:22
Since you have in obedience to the truth purified your souls for a sincere love of the brethren,
fervently love one another from the heart.
1 John 3:17
But whoever has the world’s goods, and sees his brother in need and closes his heart against him,
how does the love of God abide in him?
