Pauline Epistles (213)
  1. Paul is saying that, in its curbing function or use or purpose, the Law may curb, but it curbs us to death. The Law may indeed instruct, and it will instruct us to death.
  2. You are sinner and saint, dead and alive. Old Adam, New Adam describes the existence of every baptized believer.
  3. Use your tools the way Paul does: To bend your words and thoughts toward magnifying Christ, His grace, His person, and His work. Biblical preaching preaches like the Bible does.
  4. Abraham is not a heroic example for imitation, but a witness to the God who justifies the ungodly by promise!
  5. There is no body of Christ without the Ascension, no answer to prayer without the Ascension, and no guarantee of “truly I am with you always” without the Ascension.
  6. All will see His coming. All will see you in your appearance with Him. Until then, hear Him: Christ is dead and risen. Hear Him about you too: You are dead, and you too are risen in Him.
  7. He chooses to become least, to go down, to become nothing, to empty Himself, to humble Himself, to become obedient even to the point of death, the death of a cross. That is the mind of Christ.
  8. Location determines reality, and when you are in Christ, you do not have less condemnation, or delayed condemnation. You just have none.
