Romans 2:12-24
A good Jew kept the Law. It was the guide for all actions. God had given the Law and it was perfect. To go against the law was to go against God. To love God was to love the Law. To fail at keeping the Law was to sin.
So I call myself a Christian. What is my guide? The Bible? Christian tradition?
How did Jesus keep the Law? By following the underlying principle of the Law - to love the Lord your God with all your heart and your neighbour as yourself - even if what you are doing is not conventionally correct.
