Amen! We missed you, Larry!
" When we reflect Christ's image, we shall love one another as He has loved us. We shall not love as we love our neighbor, but as Christ loved us. It is an advance to love as Christ loved. This is the perfection of Christian character. When we can say, My will is wholly submerged in God's will, then peace and rest come in. {7MR 389.1} We must have that love, else we cannot be perfect before God. We may be active, we may do much work, but unless we love as Christ loved, our candlestick will be removed out of its place. . . . {7MR 389.2} We have little enough of Christ's character. We need it all through our ranks, We must reveal that love which dwelt in Jesus. Then we shall keep the commandment [that we love one another], which not one in a hundred of those who claim to believe the truth for this time are keeping. . . . {7MR 389.3} Perfect unity must exist in a diversity of gifts. A union of all the gifts is essential. The one great commandment Christ has given is a new commandment. It reaches beyond loving our neighbor as we love ourselves. We are to love one another, "as I," said Christ, "have loved you." This experience must be obtained by every child of God. All must blend together in the work, thus making the work not onesided, but a complete whole.--Letter 121, 1898, pp. 6-8. (To S. N. Haskell and wife, December 12, 1898.) {7MR 389.4} "
....Regarding Jesus fulfilling the law, as you pointed out one of the understandings of fulfil is to bring to an end, or complete, by accomplishing (fulfilling) the requirements of. Since the law required death, and Paul is very clear in Gal. and Eph. that Jesus brought an end to the law by his death on the cross, here is my (current) view:The cross was more than mere salvation and atonement for sin. EVERYTHING CHANGED.The cross brought an end to the Old Covenant of rules, regulations, ceremonies and ordinances. (Loose paraphrase of Paul in Gal/Eph)It brought in the New Covenant in Christ's blood. (Luke 22:20)With the New Covenant came a new commandment. (John 13:34)End of Commandments.BEFORE THE CROSS, when the Rich Young Ruler asked Jesus "What must I do to be saved?" Jesus answered in terms of the Law and commandment keeping. "You know the commandments: ‘Do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not bear false witness, do not defraud, and honor your father and mother.’" (Mark 10:17-21, also in Matthew 19:16-30; Luke 18:18-30) He did NOT say believe in God, or Me, or Abraham, or indeed ANYTHING about belief.AFTER THE CROSS, when the jailer asked Paul and Silas the exact same question, "They replied, “Believe in the Lord Jesus and you will be saved, you and your household." (Acts 16:25-34) They did not answer in terms of keeping the Law, but in terms of belief in Christ.Along with the new covenant came a new command - "Love one another." Love is the fulfilment of the law as per Romans 13:8-10. This is the command we are to keep.So in my view, when Rev. 14:12 says "Here are they that keep the commandments of God [ie: love one another] and the faith of [ie: stay faithful to, or trust in] Jesus, THIS is the "command" it is referring to.
