RESTRICT

When My Father gave the ten commandments to Moses, He had the welfare of the children of Israel in His heart.  He knew that if they had no restrictions, they would continue to live unfruitful lives. The Pharisees and Sadducees put many religious restrictions on people.  Those restrictions caused people to be under the heavy burden of condemnation.. 

I do not want to restrict you.  On the contrary, I condensed the whole law to only two commandments - Love the Lord God with all your heart, soul, and mind and love your neighbor as yourself.  When you follow the law of love and allow My love to fill you to overflow, you will not need any restrictions because My Spirit will help you love Me with all of your heart and also love others.

I came to fulfill the law. It is only when you have an intimate relationship with Me that you will live a fruitful and joyful life.  I told My disciples how they could bear much fruit and remain in My joy.  I told them to abide in Me, abide in My Word, and abide in My love.  Do these three things and you will fulfill all the law.
