What does the Law of God require of us?

Heidelberg Catechism

Question 4. What does the Law of God require of us?

Answer. Christ teaches us in sum, Matthew 22: “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.[1] This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, You shall love your neighbor as yourself.[2] On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.”[3]

[1] Deut 6:5;
[2] Lev 19:18; Gal 5:14;
[3] Lk 10:27
