LOVE IS THE LAW

​​​​​

Sin’s the law’s skid—Ten Commandments set the bar. Paul nails it: “Love your neighbor fulfills it all” (Gal 5:14, Rom 13:8). Jesus doubles down: “All hangs on love” (Matt 22:40), “Do as you’d be done” (Matt 7:12).

​

1 John screams: God’s love—live it (1 Jn 4:8). 1 Cor 13: without love, you’re dust—patient, kind, no hate. Homosexuality? No law broken—love’s the judge, not bigotry.​ Homophobia's the sin—scripture’s core bleeds grace.
