I Believe It Is All About Truth and Love

The first five books of the Bible—the books of the law—deal primarily with the instructions for Israel pertaining to the covenant made with God. The majority of what is called the Old Testament pertains to the historical accounts of Israel, as well as other writings and prophecies pertaining to Israel, past and future.

In Hebrews 8 it states, that the the old covenant had something wrong, and a new covenant was required. It further states that the new one obsoletes the old one.  Christ sates he came to fulfill the law, and states that by following his one commandment that we fulfill the law.  So by loving thy neighbor we fulfill the law but by trying to justify ourselves under the law we deny Christ and fall from Grace.  So we really have no choice, we must focus on loving our fellow man.

Hebrews 8:6 "But in fact the ministry Jesus has received is as superior to theirs as the covenant of which he is mediator is superior to the old one, since the new covenant is established on better promises."

Hebrews 8:7 "For if there had been nothing wrong with that first covenant, no place would have been sought for another. "

Hebrews 8:13 "By calling this covenant “new,” he has made the first one obsolete; and what is obsolete and outdated will soon disappear."

Matthew 5:17 ""Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil."

Galatians 5:14 "For the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”

Romans 13:8 "Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for whoever loves others has fulfilled the law."

Further Galatians 5:4 "You who are trying to be justified by the law have been alienated from Christ; you have fallen away from grace"

The new covenant is all about Love.  Christ did get angry at times but it was due to injustice and disrespect for his Fathers ad His house.  But Righteousness is necessary in the world to protect the innocent against evil.   Righteousness comes from love, because to love someone is to protect them.  I feel it is ok to stand up against others in defense of the ones you love.  In John 1 Christ used a whip to drive merchants out of the temple.
