Love of God and your neighbor according to the old covenant

Post by JacobMartinMertens » Sun Feb 14, 2016 1:52 pm

God's Law, the Law of Moses (a reference to old covenant law), is about love of God and love of your neighbor.

Can you show this from scripture?
John 1:41, 49 NASB - 41 He found first his own brother Simon and said to him, "We have found the Messiah" (which translated means Christ). 49 - Nathanael answered Him, "Rabbi, You are the Son of God; You are the King of Israel."

Lev 19:17 “You shall not hate your brother in your heart, but you shall reason frankly with your neighbor, lest you incur sin because of him. 18 You shall not take vengeance or bear a grudge against the sons of your own people, but you shall love your neighbor as yourself: I am the Lord.

Deut. 6:4 Hear, O Israel! The LORD is our God, the LORD is one! 5"You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might.

Matt. 22:37 Jesus replied: “ ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ 38This is the first and greatest commandment. 39And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’d 40All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”

Romans 13:10 Love does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.

Gal. 5:14 For the entire Law is fulfilled in in this one word: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself.
