The gospel speaks about the difference between external observance of the law of God and the spirituality of the heart. Christianity tells us the state of the heart and the importance of the laws of love. Loving thy neighbor is the second most important commandment of God. If we show loving kindness to one another, we are following his commandments. Keeping the law at the expense of others is not following the law of God. Jesus said that the holiness, purity and wholeness of a person come from within. It is not just the external things that we do that makes us holy like fasting, alms giving and attending mass. It is necessary that we must show our love to others, care for them and do good things. If we disregard these things, we think only of ourselves and evil things will come out from us.
