Does Jesus’ response in the New Testament to a lawyer’s question about the greatest commandment abolish the law as found in the Old Testament? By no means! Alistair Begg emphasizes that loving both God and neighbor does not replace what was previously commanded. In fact, Jesus’ statements are actually a summary of the law. And under His new covenant, God now fashions believers’ hearts to receive and joyfully obey this great commandment.
