The Bible tells us that God has wrote out his law upon our hearts and the law tells us to love. To love God with all our hearts and to love our neighbour out of the overflow of the love relationship we share with God. As we go out into the nations to meet the needs of a hurting world it is that law of love that guides our steps and motivates our hands to action.

2 Corinthians 3:2-4
You yourselves are our letter, written on our hearts, known and read by everybody. You show that you are a letter from Christ, the result of our ministry, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts.

“This is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after that time,” declares the Lord. “I will put my law in their minds and write it on their hearts. I will be their God and they will be my people.

Hebrews 8:10 (also in Hebrews 10:16)
This is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after that time, declares the Lord. I will put my laws in their minds and write them on their hearts. I will be their God and they will be my people.
Matthew 22:36-40
“Teacher which is the greatest commandment in the law?” Jesus replied, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbour as yourself.’ All the law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”
