One must only look to see beyond the "letter of the law" to the "Spirit of the law"

 

According to Jeremiah, the qualities of the new covenant expounded upon the old are :

 

a) It will not be broken;

b) Its law will be written in the heart, not merely on tablets of stone;

c) The knowledge of God will deem it no longer necessary to put it into written words of instruction.

 

According to Luke (Luke 22:20), and Paul, in the first epistle to the Corinthians (1 Corinthians 11:25), this prophecy was fulfilled only through the work of Jesus Christ, who said,

 

"This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which will be shed for you."

 

Christ did not come to abolish the law but to fulfill it.

His purpose was to encourage people to look beyond the "letter of the law" to the "spirit of the law"…

the principles behind the commandments and the law's intention.

Jesus quotes the book of Deuteronomy and Leviticus:

 

"All the Law can be summed up in this: to love God with all your heart, all your mind and all your soul, and to love your neighbor as yourself"
