Perfecting the Law

Jesus did not come abolish but to fulfill the law, that is, to complete it perfectly. Jesus invites his disciples to a full adherence to God’s moral law, both externally and internally. Saying “Jesus knows my heart” without living according to His commands is a contradiction. A “good heart” that deliberately disobeys God’s law is not truly good. Jesus makes it clear that those who obey and teach His commandments will be great in the Kingdom of Heaven, while those who ignore them will be least. God’s love for us calls for our moral responsibility.

Jesus, I trust in you
