Love is the fulfilment of the law

The Ten Commandments were never replaced by the command to love God, and love one another. They were summarised by the command to love God and your neighbour. Afterall if you love your neighbour, you would not kill him, steal from him, lie to him, and sleep with his wife. If you love your parents you will honour them. If you love God you will not take His name in vain, or worship other God’s or idols etc. So if you love God and your neighbour, you would have to keep the Ten Commandments anyway. That is exactly what we see in Romans 13:10, “Love is the fulfilment of the law.”
