Everything Must Be Judged From The Standpoint Of Love
When Jesus came He abolished all other laws but Love! He gave one law which fulfils all the laws of the Bible, both old & new, & that is Love!--Love for God & fellow man! (See Mat.22:37-39.) Jesus' Law of Love is all-encompassing, all fulfilling & completely above & beyond any other law. God's only law is now Love, & as long as something is done in love, with real unselfish, even sacrificial love, God's Love, then it is absolutely lawful in God's eyes.
We are not judged by how well we keep the endless, legalistic commandments of the old law--we are judged only by how much love we have & how much we give & how much we share. God now only judges us according to whether we have love or no love--whether we have love or hate--whether what we do is done for love, or selfishness & lack of love. Is it doing good or is it doing evil? Are you helping or hindering?
The only rule we can go by in every case is, "Is it love? Was it done in love?" If you know you're acting in love, then you can go ahead by faith according to God's Word & you don't need any other laws to go by, you don't need any other laws to confirm it. You're on your own according to God's only Law of Love.--So love!
