爱比正义更重要，怜悯比公义更伟大！
在今天，爱是基督的律法！“因为全律法都包在爱人如己这一句话之内了。”（加5:14）
爱实在比律法更严格，因为它所包含的内容远远超过了律法。摩西律法完全不传扬宽恕，它倡导的是“以眼还眼，以牙还牙！”但耶稣说，即使我们的弟兄冒犯了我们七十个七次而愿意悔改的话，我们也应该宽恕他！（太5:38,39及18:21,22）现在，凡事都必须按照他的爱来做！我们必须超越只是谨守律法，而要有更多的怜悯和更多的爱！
人们服从旧的律法，只是因为他们必须服从而已；他们只会去做律法命令他们去做的那些事，但爱却会付出一切！它愿意为别人而死，以及致死都要做正确的事。在我们里面的上帝的圣灵，将会给予我们力量和能力去爱别人甚于爱我们自己！
这就是上帝时时不断在教导我们的事：他劝诫我们以正确的、充满了爱的动机来行事，因为我们爱他和爱他人，所以我们便想去做正确的事！你想这样做吗？

Love is more than righteousness, and mercy is greater than justice!
Love is the law of Christ today. “For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this: ‘You shall love your neighbour as yourself’” (Galatians 5:14).
Love is really stricter than the Mosaic Law because it goes further than the Law. In the Law there was virtually no forgiving and it was “an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.” But Jesus said that even if our brother offends us seventy times seven times and is sorry, we should forgive him (Matthew 5:38–39; 18:21–22). Now everything must be done in His love.
We must have more mercy and more love than the Law!
People only obeyed the Law because they had to, and most people only did as much as they were made to do. But love goes all the way. Love will do the right thing and go the distance for someone else. The Spirit of God in us will give us the power and the strength to love others more than ourselves.
This is what God has been working on all the time: to persuade us to do things through the right, loving motivation, because we love Him and others and therefore want to do what’s right.
