“How so? Briefly, apart from the gospel and outside of Christ, the law is my enemy and condemns me. Why? Because God is my enemy and condemns me. But with the gospel and in Christ, united to him by faith, the law is no longer my enemy but my friend. Why? Because now God is no longer my enemy but my friend, and the law, his will—the law in its moral core, as reflective of his character and of concerns eternally inherent in his own person and so of what pleases him—is now my friendly guide for life in fellowship with God.”
Richard B. Jr. Gaffin, By Faith, Not by Sight: Paul and the Order of Salvation

“From this perspective, it should be appreciated that the antithesis between law and gospel is not an end in itself. It is not a theological ultimate. That antithesis arises not by virtue of creation, but as the consequence of sin, and the gospel functions to overcome it. The gospel removes an absolute law-gospel antithesis in the life of the believer.”
Richard B. Jr. Gaffin, By Faith, Not by Sight: Paul and the Order of Salvation

“For Christians, then, Christ’s justification, given with his resurrection, becomes theirs.”
Richard B. Jr. Gaffin, By Faith, Not by Sight: Paul and the Order of Salvation
