Subject: What is the law? |
Bible Note: I would make the following adjustments to what you are saying: Redemption did away with the PENALTY of the Law. It is about justification; i.e., our guilt is imputed to Christ -- just as though He were responsible for each aspect -- and His righteousness is imputed to the believer -- just as though the believer were responsible for that righteousness. The Law ceases to have the power of condemnation. When we are justified, the Law becomes a kindly tutor -- helping us understand the righteousness of God and our own continuous need for sanctification. Justification is a forensic concept. |
