Jack,

Beautifully put!  Copy and save that one,
Sounders.  That's New Covenant Theology,
boys and girls!

Jack said:

...our relationship to the law is not one of
"underness" to an externally written code, or one
of "withoutness" as in true antinomianism, but 
one of "inness" to a King/Prophet/Priest to whom 
we have been joined as a mediating Substitute. We
are one with him, "in Him", and He dwells within 
us. This personal, relational "inness" is the only
appropriate New Covenant answer to the question of
our relationship to the "Law" this side of the 
Crucifixion. 2 Cor. 3 makes this very clear. When 
someone remarks, "What about the Law of God?", our 
response might well be, "What about my indwelling 
Savior, the Son of God?"
