Following the laws of a kingdom or nation does not grant a person citizenship-that is not the purpose of law. Law is simply a guide for people to follow to ensure cohesion, agreement, and peace in civil and interpersonal relationships.is response shows that the intent behind God's law is love-love toward God, and love toward fellow man: Jesus said to him, 'You shall love the L ORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.' This is the first and great commandment.
