THE LAW OF MOSES IS SUMMED UP IN THE GOLDEN RULE!


GOD'S WILL FOR BELIEVERS!

Matthew 5:43-48 - You have heard that it has been said, You shall love your neighbor, and hate your enemy.  But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you, and persecute you; that you may be (seen as) the children of your Father Who is in heaven:  for He makes His sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.  For if you love those who love you, what reward have you?  Do not even the publicans (do) the same?  And if you salute (respectfully greet) your brethren only, what do you more than others?  Do not even the publicans (do) so?  Therefore, you be perfect, even as your Father Who is in heaven is perfect.

Matthew 7:12 - Therefore all things whatsoever you would that men should do to you, you do even so to them:  for this is the Law and the Prophets.

Matthew 22:36-40 - Master, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?  Jesus said unto him, You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.  This is the first and greatest commandment.  And the second is like unto it, You shalt love your neighbor as (you love) yourself.  On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.

Romans 13:8-10 - Owe no man anything, but to love one another:  for he that loves another has fulfilled the Law.  For this, You shall not commit adultery; You shall not kill; You shall not steal; You shall not bear false witness; You shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, You shall love your neighbor as (you love) yourself.  Love works no ill to a neighbor: therefore love is the fulfilling of the Law.

Galatians 5:14 - For all the law is fulfilled in one saying, even in this; You shall love your neighbor as yourself.

James 2:8 - If you fulfill the royal law (the Golden Rule) according to the Scripture, You shall love your neighbor as (you love) yourself, you do well.... 

1 John 3:23 - And this is His commandment, That we should believe on the name of His Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as He gave us commandment.


FAILURE TO LOVE IS SIN!

James 4:17Therefore to him that knows to do good, and does it not, to him it is sin.


BUT WHEN WE FAIL, AND WE WILL FAIL!

1 John 1:8-10If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.  If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.  If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him (call God) a liar, and His Word is not in us.
