Fullfilling The Law

Maaf tulisan ini dalam bahasa Inggris krn ini adalah bagian dari sebuah tanggapan di blog orang asing yg menggunakan bahasa Inggris.

Fulfilling the law means giving what the law demands.

The demand are : Loving :

1) Demand to be given to God :  Loving God completely and
2) Demand to be given to mankind : loving others as ourselves. (Mat 22:37-40).

Verse 40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”

Jesus fulfilling the Law  means : there are two options that now available :

1. The Law.
2. Jesus

Surrendering oneself to Jesus who has fulfilled the law means he or she will too has fulfilled the law because he or she will be with the one who has fulfilled the law. Loving Jesus or  following/obeying his commands is the same as obeying God's command because the teaching of Jesus is the teaching of His God.

Is it an easy  thing to do (cheap salvation) ? Loving Jesus or surrendering oneself to Jesus ?  We are not talking about logic here. We are talking about will. Loving is not a logical think.

What about fulfilling the Law by oneself ? Trying to obey/do/follow all 10 (or more) laws ? By your own power ? Where is loving God then ? What is the basis or the motive of obeying or following the law ? Fear of God's punishment ? Trying to prove you are worthy of God's mercy ? Trying to impress God ?

Has anybody been reported in the bible succeded in fulfilling the Law ?

As far as I know, only God or a living being can do the saving, not a written documents or a dead object.
