The sin atoning death of our Lord/God & Savior Jesus the Christ. Fulfilled/PAID IN FULL heavens required sin sentence/wage/payment due=DEATH.
Jesus resurrection is Father's stamp/receipt:
Sins required BLOOD payment, received & accepted!
Under the NEW Risen Christ mediated Eternal Blood Covenant:
Heb 9:15 For this reason Christ is the mediator of a new covenant, that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance—now that he has died as a ransom to set them free from the sins committed under the first covenant.
(My parsing vs 15: Christ mediates a NEW covenant, that promises an eternal inheritance. Christ's sin atoning death; Completely Frees-Pardons-Forgives-Removes. ALL/Every - Past-Present-Future sin. Whereby nullifying ALL the Punishment/Judgment/Curses invoked/owed under the now Paid in Full/FULFILLED old/1st sin condemning covenant.
Heb 13:20 Now may the God of peace, who through the blood of the eternal covenant brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep,
(My parsing vs 20: Believers are Forever/Eternally at peace with God through FAITH placed in the ETERNAL BLOOD COVENANT PAYMENT of our Eternal High Priest - Lord/God & Savior, Jesus the Christ)
New covenant believers reason to avoid ungodly living/sinning should be done out of Love for Christ & those around us.
Great Christ Given Commandments:
Matt 22:
36 “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?”
37 And Jesus replied to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.’
38 This is the first and greatest commandment.
39 The second is like it, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself [that is, unselfishly seek the best or higher good for others].
(MY NOTE: Love God 1st & Love your brother)
40 The whole Law and the [writings of the] Prophets depend on these two commandments.” (Also see Mark 12:28-34, John 13:34-35)
(MY NOTE: If we truly love God & our brother. We won't kill, steal, covet, falsely accuse etc)
Royal Law:
Ja 2:8 If, however, you are [really] fulfilling the royal law according to the Scripture, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself [that is, if you have an unselfish concern for others and do things for their benefit]” you are doing well.

Gal 6:2 Carry one another’s burdens and in this way you will fulfill the requirements of the law of Christ [that is, the law of Christian love].
1 Cor 9:21 To those not having the law I became like one not having the law (though I am not free from God’s law but am under Christ’s law), so as to win those not having the law
(MY NOTE: If we truly love God & our brother. We won't kill, steal, covet, falsely accuse etc)
Love:
Gal 5:14 For the whole Law is fulfilled in one precept, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself [that is, you shall have an unselfish concern for others and do things for their benefit].
Rom 13:8 Owe nothing to anyone except to love and seek the best for one another; for he who [unselfishly] loves his neighbor has fulfilled the [essence of the] law.
1 Thes 4:9 Now concerning brotherly love, you have no need for anyone to write you, for you have been [personally] taught by God to love one another [that is, to have an unselfish concern for others and to do things for their benefit].
1 Jn 3:23 This is His commandment, that we believe [with personal faith and confident trust] in the name of His Son Jesus Christ, and [that we unselfishly] love and seek the best for one another, just as He commanded us.
1 Jn 4:
7 Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.
8 Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love
1 Corinthians 13:
4 Love endures with patience and serenity, love is kind and thoughtful, and is not jealous or envious; love does not brag and is not proud or arrogant.
5 It is not rude; it is not self-seeking, it is not provoked [nor overly sensitive and easily angered]; it does not take into account a wrong endured.
6 It does not rejoice at injustice, but rejoices with the truth [when right and truth prevail].
7 Love bears all things [regardless of what comes], believes all things [looking for the best in each one], hopes all things [remaining steadfast during difficult times], endures all things [without weakening].
Summery:
Love; patiently endues, is always kind, truthful & forgiving.
Love is never jealous, envious, boastful, proud, arrogant, rude selfish, provoked, vindictive.
