The Law of Christ

In Galatians Paul goes through a detailed argument why the Law is inadequate. He then says in Galatians 6:1 "Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ." What is the Law of Christ? He did tell us in Galatians 5:14 "The entire law is summed up in a single command: "Love your neighbor as yourself." That is the message of the Law, love God above all and to love your neighbour as yourself. Jesus did not come to destroy the Law but to fulfill it.
