Christ Rules

Does Love Trump God’s law?

God's law defines good and evil and gives us the rules for relationships. The definition of love is to put God's law into action, to enforce His laws within the jurisdictions we are responsible for. Wisdom is understanding how, when, and which laws to apply to a particular situation.

But isn't the law a tutor we are supposed to outgrow?

We don't move away from our tutor's lessons but take those lessons inward, to heart. Then we become tutors ourselves, teaching others and reconciling them to the law as Christ did, by grace 'bearing one another's burdens' which 'fulfills the law,' bringing it to full fruit.

This is what it means to seek God's Kingdom; through study and practice, to let His law inform our characters, making us fit subjects of His rule.

O how love I thy law! it is my meditation all the day. Psalm 199:97
