We want to be like him in every way possible. We want to be like the perfect example that Jesus set for us. God's law is inseparably linked to his love, and therefore to his grace and mercy. He gives grace to those who have faith in his love for them. The apostle Paul wrote about grace and faith, and he connected these attributes to obedience.
Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing.
The love commandment encompasses all the others. All these are included in the greatest commandment, love for God. Obedience motivated by love, not fear The greatest commandment tells us that love should motivate all our obedience. And yet we all fall short in our motives, too. Sometimes we do right for the wrong reason.
