Heard an interesting quote at a church we visited today. Quoting a theologion with whom I was not familiar, the preacher said (I may not have the quote exactly, but it's fairly close):
"If you set out to live for Christ on purpose, you will fulfill the law by mistake."
I suspect a better reading of that would be: "If you set out to live for Christ (under grace) on purpose, you will inadvertently fulfill the law."
He was preaching from Romans 7 on grace and the law. To be fair, in the context of his message he did mean that the law was fulfilled in Christ only, but does anyone have any thoughts on this quote, or on my revised interpretation of it?
