The Law ordained, "Thou shalt love;" and love ordained that law. Man could not keep it, and love ordained a gospel; that gospel is "God so loved." Thus, "Thou shalt love" is the whole of the law; "God so loved" is the whole of the gospel. That is so clear, that it is at once law and gospel for children and for savages; but it is so deep in its limpid clearness that no philosopher can fathom it.
