Jesus said He did not come to do away with the Law but to fulfill it (Matthew 5:17). Paul likewise taught that we do not nullify the Law by our faith but instead we uphold it (Romans 3:31). Jesus said the Law represents the essence of His teaching (Matthew 7:12), and that it can be summed up as wholeheartedly following God and loving your neighbor as yourself (Matthew 22:37-40). James taught likewise (James 2:8), as did Paul (Galatians 5:14; Romans 13:8-10).
