mself is the believer’s law, the law of Christ.
The Scriptures show us that the aim of the believer’s life can
be summed up as Christ-likeness. To reach this goal, God, by his
Spirit unites the sinner, at the point of faith, to Christ himself.
The Spirit forms Christ in him. He is in Christ, and Christ is in
him. For the believer, Christ is the standard, the pattern, the
power, of his life. Christ is the covenant, the all in all (Col. 3:11).
And, in that new covenant, the Spirit motivates and empowers the
believer to grow in the knowledge and likeness of his Saviour. |
