God’s Royal Law
The Apostle James wrote of God’s royal law of love for everyone without showing
partiality:
James 2:8-10, 13 “If you really fulfill the ROYAL LAW (
king of all laws
)
according to the Scriptures, ‘You shall LOVE your neighbor as yourself,’ you
do well; but IF you show PARTIALITY (
margin: receive the face
) you commit
sin, and are convicted by the law as transgressors. For whoever shall keep
the WHOLE LAW, and yet stumble in one point, he is GUILTY of all. . . . For
judgment is without mercy to the one who has shown no mercy (
Matthew
6:14-15
). Mercy triumphs over judgment.”
The Apostle Paul made reference to the King of all Laws by defining it in the following
Scriptures as a debt of LOVE for all people:
Romans 13:8-9 “Owe no one anything except to LOVE one another, for he
who LOVES another has fulfilled the law. For the commandments
, “You
shall not commit adultery,” “You shall not murder,” “You shall not steal,”
“YOU SHALL NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESS,” “you shall not covet,” and if
there is any other commandment,
are all SUMMED UP in this saying,
namely, “You shall LOVE your neighbor as yourself.”
Further, he writes very plainly about God’s wonderful blessing of LOVE:
Romans 13:10 “LOVE does no harm to a neighbor; therefore LOVE is the
fulfillment of the law.
This makes known the purpose of the Ninth Commandment:
Exodus 20:16 “You shall not bear false witness against your
neighbor.”
