Where does the Law of God come from? How did God decide upon the commandments that he game to humanity? Love. God is love, his Law reflects his nature, therefore his Law is built upon Love.
Thus God's commands are not arbitrary, they pursue the cause of Love, when his people portray what God has commanded, and seek to carry it out, they must do so by love. When God's Law is silent, or we struggle to fit it to the context we live in, the answer is love. Which is why, when God's people use any other motivation or method, we cannot succeed and must fail for we have failed to connect to the heart of God.
