You don't know how to love God and your neighbor unless you look to the law to define it.

They that love God live their daily lives to show their true love for God; in truth and in spirit!

The Lord commands us to do good unto all men without exception, though the majority are very undeserving when judged according to their own merits... [The Scripture] teaches us that we must not think of man's real value, but only of his creation in the image of God to which we owe all possible honor and love.

If in my life I fail completely to heed others, solely out of a desire to be 'devout' and to perform my 'religious duties', then my relationship with God will also grow arid. It becomes merely 'proper', but loveless.

My God, these folks don't know how to love - that's why they love so easily.

In a world without the law of God, you have chaos, oppression, tyranny, and everyone doing what is right in their own eyes.
