Lucheng’s Chinese name is a picture of Law being Fulfilled in and through Christ Jesus
Inspired from the Holy Bible:
In the book of Romans 13:8-10 ...
"8 Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for he who loves his fellowman has fulfilled the law. 9 The commandments, “Do not commit adultery,” “Do not murder,” “Do not steal,” “Do not covet,” and whatever other commandment there may be, are summed up in this one rule: “Love your neighbour as yourself.” 10 Love does no harm to its neighbour,
therefore love is the fulfilment of the law."
This verse can be easily misunderstood if it is not examined from a ‘Big Picture’ perspective.

The ‘Love’ that Paul speaks of here is not the sentimental humanitarian kind of love but a love that stems from a transformed life, wrought about through the power of the good news of Jesus Christ.
Romans: the big picture…
In Chapters 1-3, Paul establishes that Jews are as condemned as non-Jews (Gentiles) without Christ. And then he goes on to make a case that salvation belongs to spiritual and not ethnic descendents of Abraham since Jews are also descendents of the sinner Adam (5:12-21). In Romans chapters 7 and 10, Paul pointed out that Jews cannot be made righteous by the law. All these are established to get the Jews to understand that the law can only demand righteousness while Christ

alone provides righteousness. Therefore, they are persuaded to show loving acceptance to non-Jewish (Gentile) Christians who do not consciously practice Mosaic laws but have Christ in their hearts. It is an appeal for unity.
So the heart of Romans is about racial reconciliation through a correct understanding of Christ and the law’s role in salvation. Paul is addressing Jewish Christians here to love their fellow Gentile believers. And in so doing, they are fulfilling the paramount purpose of the Mosaic law, which is to love God and neighbour. But understand that the law was not given strictly to get men to love but the law was given on a primary plane to get men to despair. The law acts as a mirror to reflect how far men fall short of God’s ways of love so that men will hope for a Saviour. Well, the Saviour came in the person of Jesus Christ.
Jesus says in Matthew 5:17: “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.
The Law is fulfilled in the perfect life that Jesus lived when He walked this earth some 2000 years ago. On the other hand, the law was perfectly broken by the lawlessness of men down through the history of humanity. So Jesus, the sinless Son of God went to the cross at age 33 to effect a divine exchange. At the cross, Jesus gave to us His perfect law-keeping while He took upon Himself our perfect law-breaking and the divine punishment that we deserved fell upon Him while the divine blessings that he deserved fell upon us. And By His Stripes We Are Healed!
So to all who trust in Jesus as Saviour, they have fulfilled the law inwardly in Christ.

Just as Jesus was declared totally sinful at the cross (even though He committed no sin), in the same way, Christians are declared totally righteous when they trust in Christ’s work at the cross (even though they had done no righteous deeds). However, the Christian journey doesn’t just stop there. Paul in Romans 13 is appealing to Christian Jews to ensure the outworking of what they have received inwardly. They have received the gift of righteousness, now they ought to walk in that righteousness through love. They ought to show love to their non-Jewish Christian brothers in loving acceptance. And this love is not propelled by willpower, but it is built upon the foundation of Christ’s love as expressed through His sacrifice at the cross.
In Galatians 6:2, Paul also says:
“Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.”
- see how loving relationships is truly at the heart of Christ’s law?
However, are Christians under the Mosaic law? Well, that depends on the definition of ‘under’. Paul himself states that he is not ‘under’ the Mosaic law in 1 Corinthians 9:20:
“To the Jews I became like a Jew, to win the Jews. To those under the law I became like one under the law (though I myself am not under the law), so as to win those under the law.”
To be ‘under’ the law means to depend on law-keeping to have right-standing with God. However, as Christians, the basis for us, having right-standing with God is not the Mosaic law. Our basis is Christ crucified. The cross. The atoning work. The divine exchange. John 3:16.
The paradoxically ironic thing is that even though Christians are no longer under the law, in practice, we still perform the stipulations of the law as we yield to the directions of the Holy Word and the Holy Spirit. But the difference between one who is under law and one who is not is the issue of motivation. The one under law does the law to obtain righteousness but the Christian does the law, being motivated by love… Christ’s love for us; our love for God and our love for neighbour.
To sum it all up, we can see that the law is fulfilled at two levels. At one level, the law is fulfilled through Christ's perfectly righteous life in which he has given to us at the cross.

But having received righteousness through Christ, the law would be fulfilled at a second level when Christians walk in love. This walking in love as a result of a life transformed by the power of the gospel is what Paul is talking about in Romans 13:10… Love is the Fulfilment of the Law. So Romans 13:10 is talking about a Christian’s Spirit-Empowered love that brings about the fulfilment of the law at a so called second level. Therefore, we can say that Christ’s love for us, that led Him to come down to this earth as men’s representative in living a perfect life has brought fulfilment of the law at a foundational level (Matthew 5:17) where the love in Romans 13:10 is built upon.
In Chinese, Love is the Fulfilment of the Law reads:
