Stop Trying To Fulfil the Law Yourself

If you are being taught to follow the law as a Christian, you are being taught wrong. I invite you to read Galatians 3, Matthew 22:35–40, Mark 12:28–34, and Luke 10:27. 

Jesus fulfilled the law, meaning He did every command, over 600 and excuted then perfectly. That's why we are born again and hidden in Christ so that it can be counted towards us the fulfillment of the law through Christ. 

The sum of the law is this: love the Lord your God with all your heart soul and mind. The 2nd command is to love your neighbor as yob love yourself. We are justified by God's grace and our faith in His Son, Jesus Christ. Not by works or the law. 

The law isn't done away with. Jesus fulfilled it and then taught us how to live it out, by love. Without love, we are nothing. God is love, so without Him, we can not do anything that has any eternal weight in glory.
