.....

THE WHOLE SACRED SCRIPTURE TREATS OF THE LORD, AND THE

LORD IS THE WORD

BY THE LORD'S FULFILLING ALL THE CONTENTS OF THE LAW, IS MEANT,

THAT HE FULFILLED ALL THE CONTENTS OF THE WORD

........

I. By the Law, in a strict sense, are meant the Ten Com-

mandments of the Decalogue

II. By the Law, in a more extensive sense, are meant all

things that are written in the five books of Moses.......

III. By the Law, in the most extensive sense, are meant

all things that are contained in the Word

THE LORD CAME INTO THE WORLD TO SUBJUGATE THE HELLS AND TO

GLORIFY HIS HUMAN; AND THE PASSION OF THE CROSS WAS THE

LAST COMBAT, BY WHICH HE FULLY CONQUEred the Hells, AND

FULLY GLORIFIED HIS HUMAN

THE LORD, BY THE PASSION OF THE CROSS, DID NOT TAKE AWAY

SINS, BUT BORE THEM.....

THE IMPUTATION OF THE LORD'S MERIT PROPERLY MEANS NOTHING

ELSE THAN THE REMISSION OF SINS AFTER REPENTANCE

THE LORD, AS TO HIS DIVINE HUMAN, IS CALLED THE SON Of God;

AND, AS TO THE WORD, THE SON OF MAN

I. The Lord is called the Son of Man when the Passion is

treated of......

II. The Lord is called the Son of Man when Judgment is

treated of..........

III. The Lord is called the Son of Man where his coming

is treated of

IV. The Lord is called the Son of Man where Redemption,

Salvation, Reformation, and Regeneration are treated of. 27 ibid.

Because the Son of Man signifies the Lord as to the

Word, the same title was also given to the Prophets.. 28

THE LORD MADE HIS HUMAN DIVINE FROM THE DIVINE WHICH WAS IN

HIM, AND THUS BECAME ONE WITH THE FATHER

II. The Lord from Eternity, or Jehovah, assumed the Human

to save Mankind

III. The Lord made his Human Divine from the Divine

in Himself ....

IV. The Lord made his Human Divine by Temptations ad-

mitted therein, and by continual Victories in those con-

flicts...
