8. The Royal Law
Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: I am the LORD.
( Leviticus 19:18 )
Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.
( Romans 13:8 )
Master, which is the great commandment in the law? Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
( Matthew 22:36-40 )
This is an affirmation of the relationship between faith and works: If we love God hen we will love our neighbor.
10. Keep the Law?
Cursed be he that confirmeth not all the words of this law to do them. And all the people shall say, Amen.
( Deuteronomy 27:26 )
12. The Law of Liberty
But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.
( James 1:25 )
We cannot keep the Law of Moses, but if we work to fulfill the Royal Law then we come under grace, which is the Perfect Law of Liberty.
13. You Reap What You Sow
For thou hast taken a pledge from thy brother for nought, and stripped the naked of their clothing.
( Job 22:6 )
But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
( Matthew 6:15 )
