Semper Reformanda: Part 5

1.The threefold division of the Law – moral, civil, and ceremonial – is a helpful theological category, but it is not based on exegesis (Jas. 2:10).
2.The innate law of God in man is not identical to the Decalogue (e.g. the Sabbath – Ex. 19:8; 31:16-17; Neh. 9:14; Col. 2:16-17; Heb. 4:1, 9-10).
3.Christians are free from the law, but they are not lawless, they relate to God's law in and through Christ (1 Cor. 9:20-21).
