this is one of the most powerful scriptures (down below) on the law ever. we see so much more the Holiness of God through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit.
Hebrews
10 16 This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;
1 cor. 13 elaborates on the Holiness of God even further with what love is. that kind of love can only come from Christ!!!!!!!!! PERFECT LOVE.
and the most happily ever after love story ending is this:
For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. 13 And now abideth faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
Christ's love will transcend through His sheep. we inherit His perfect love. we love Him because he first loved us.
