Do we then overthrow the law by this faith? By no means! On the contrary, we uphold the law.
The grace of Christ is not a ticket to ignoring the commands of God. It is, rather, the only thing that makes it possible to obey them. Today, have faith in Christ and allow his power to empower you to love according to God’s commandment.
