How the Law Bears Fruit

“When Jesus died, the law died. And when He rose again, so did the law . . . the law has complete continuity in the same way that the body of Christ had continuity with His resurrection body. It was the same body that rose from the dead (John 20:27). The law has discontinuity in the sense that the resurrection changes the meaning and nature of everything.”

Two Kinds of Readers

“The Word of God is unified, but the reason we see it as divided is that we have to account for two kinds of people, each group seeing the Word as unified, but in different ways. But the Scriptures are not divided up into law portions in one section and grace portions in another. We do, however, have law-readers and grace-readers.”

Infidelity Within the Covenant

“Mark this well: adultery is not the same thing as divorce. It is certainly covenantal unfaithfulness and is grounds for divorce, but if there is no divorce, then the marriage remains binding on both parties. An adulterous husband is a covenant-breaking husband, not an ex-husband. In short, we must distinguish covenant-breaking from covenant-separation.”
