$\"sander2\"$ <\/a><\/p>\n

pp. 611-12- the fault of Judaism is that it did not lead to salvation through faith in Christ and salvation thru Christ is what matters. Paul did not think righteousness by the law was bad because it made one boastful or anxious if you don\u2019t achieve it. But how does Christ provide resurrection and new life to the convert\u2014 answer by knowing him, by having union with him. The righteousness language was inadequate to convey this. The righteousness by faith language comes from the Abraham story but Paul\u2019s own terminology is being in Christ, being one with him. <\/p>\n

p. 613\u2014 being one person in Christ is the grand conclusion of both Gal. 3.22-29 and Phil. 3.9-11. The terminology of righteousness by faith is not about imputed righteousness, righteousness by faith is the same as sharing in the death and res. of Christ. It is a synonym for being one in him. This is the mysticism of Paul\u2014 inner experience of Christ is the secret of Paul\u2019s spiritual life. Christ lives in Him and he in Christ as A. Deissmann said. <\/p>\n

p. 614\u2014 faith in Christ leads to suffering with him and so union with him in death and resurrection. <\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
