The essence of the law is love for God and love for one another.
We may all become experts at lesser things, but if we fail at love, we are but sound and fury, signifying nothing.
Not a happy ending, that.

Quote-But again, all of this is a distraction. The essence of the law is love for God and love for one another.
And that is why revelation 13 has the enemy breaking and causing others to break His 1st 4 Love Commandments. Those that deal with Worshipping Him..
And what a Revelation if one can see how the Ten Love Commandments relate to the three folds(30/60/100) in His Kingdom, which He gave in His parable of the Sower..
