“Living in the Spirit is the only means by which Christians can fight the flesh (Gal. 5:17–21) and restore fellow Christians who have fallen into sin (6:2) and thus fulfill the law of Christ. Although church-age believers are not under the Law of Moses, the law of God, which is the law that comes from Christ, is their guide. By obeying God’s will, as revealed in Christ’s teaching and the New Testament imperatives for believers, Christians fulfill the law of Christ (Gal. 6:2) as those who are under His jurisdiction (1 Cor. 9:2).” (Page 452)
“Luther thought that to view Jesus Christ correctly is to view Him as both bearer and bestower of the Cross.” (Page 336)
“The primary roles of a shepherd with his sheep were guiding, providing food and water, protecting and delivering, gathering scattered or lost sheep, and giving health and security. The needs of sheep are primarily physical. Not being abundantly endowed with intelligence and lacking the capacity to find food and water for themselves in marginal environments, they require a benevolent and capable human leader who will guide them to places where these essentials can be found. Since sheep tend to wander,22 a concerned shepherd must search for them and bring them back when they become lost or when for some reason the flock has become scattered. A sheep’s lack of natural defenses leaves it susceptible to the attacks of predators.” (Page 22)
“What then is the law of which Jeremiah wrote? This writer proposes that it is to be identified with ‘the law of Christ,’ which Paul referred to in 1 Corinthians 9:21 and Galatians 6:2.” (Page 438)
