"Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law." -Romans 13:8

With love, we are fulfilling the law God has given us.
"Hatred stirreth up strifes: but love covereth all sins." -Proverbs 10:12
If we love and have love in us, and would give that love to others, we dare not to inflict harm unto them, hate does...
Loving someone result into taking care of that person and would want nothing but goodness and blessing for him. And if that is the case, then we are fulfilling God's law.
(Read 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 about what love is)
So in whatever situation we are in today, choose to love, choose God for God is love (1John 4:8).
When Jesus was asked by a lawyer, tempting Him... asking Him of what is the greatest commandment.
"Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with thy soul, and with thy all mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law..." -Matthew 22:37-40

The key point in those verse is love. LOVE, hang all the commandments. It mentioned, 'the second is like unto it'... loving your neighbor is like unto loving God? Why did Jesus said it?
Because we can't say we love God without loving other people.
"...let us love one another: for love is of God; and everyone that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God." -1 John 4:7
If we have love, and have lived by it every single day then we are keeping and fulfilling the law, which God has given us.
To God be the glory!
