To fulfill the law of Christ is to walk in love. The Holy Spirit spells this out clearly in Galatians 6:2, saying:

“Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.”

Our Lord also spells out what it means to walk in love in teaching us what love in action really looks like.

As Christians, we are under the law of Christ and this law is administered through the Spirit of Lordship (one of the seven dimensions of the Holy Spirit), who lives in us. There are some basic truths that all heaven-bound Christian pilgrims must embrace for total freedom from the devil and his lies.

One of these truths is that God’s commandments are eternally relevant and cannot be broken without consequences. Our first parents disobeyed God and the consequence was that their perfect life was destroyed, and the cordial relationship they had with the Lover of their souls was broken. Little did they know that the commandment God gave them was for their own good. Heaven is not devoid of divine law!

The will of God is the law of heaven.

The reason why the beings in heaven do not just do what pleases them is because divine law and order reigns in heaven. It is a misplaced understanding of grace for any Christian to think that once a fellow is saved, there is no obligation to obey any form of commandments because there is no law to keep.

You cannot claim to be walking in love when you steal, defile your neighbour’s daughter, sleep with your neighbour’s spouse, or go to the extent of killing other people. Love will not allow you to do so. This love was first demonstrated by Jesus Christ Himself and He is willing to impart it into those who would accept Him as their personal Lord and Saviour.
