The Message of Romans
(Downers Grove, IL: IVP, 1994)
Justified by the cross, sanctified by the Spirit
Our deliverance from the law is a rescue from its curse and its bondage, and so relates to the two particular functions of justification and sanctification. In both areas we are under grace, not law. For justification we look to the cross, not the law, and for sanctification to the Spirit, not the law. It is only by the Spirit that the law can be fulfilled in us.
