Question: Why do these two Commandments of love contain the whole law of God?
Answer:
These two Commandments of the love of God and of our neighbor contain the whole law of God because all the other Commandments are given either to help us to keep these two, or to direct us how to shun what is opposed to them.
This is Question 312 of the Baltimore Catechism, a work in the public domain.
