Summary/Abstract: Life ruled by law and the legality of our culture have in common the oblivion of the right and the demandof saving yourself through your deeds. Life ruled by law deals only with individual saving, because itdoes not see the total good; it always balances, for its whole horizon is nothing but a changing, as it is thereport between God and human being. Love has every virtue and it is contrary to all sins. This is thesource of all forms of good. The one who has love is on his way to perfection. Between love andconsciousness there is a real complementariness. Consciousness is the instrument through which lawbecomes operative in our being. St Apostle Pavel underlines the fact that a pure moral consciousness iskept by belief (Tit. 1,15-16). Christian love that springs from a pure moral consciousness and heart iswhat God wanted from his creation, man having the possibility to take the resemblance with God, as hisnursing to “God’s image”.
