Such as the tvord is, such the spirit hecometh through it ; even as iron becometh Jiery red like fire through contact with it. . . . That is Christian liberty, — the only faith which doth not cause us to live idly or do evil, but simply teaches we need no works to obtain holiness and salvation Not only doth faith give so much, that it makes the soul like the divine word ; hut it also unites the soul with Christ, as a bride with her bridegroom : from which union it results that Christ and the so...ul become one, and that the possessions of both, in despite of the fall {Full oder Unfall), be- come common between them : that which Christ possesses becometh the property of the believing soul ; what the soul hath is Christ's. So all the possessions and blessedness of Christ are the soul's. So Christ takes upon himself all the sins and vices of the soul. Hence springs the blessed antagonism that Christ is God and man As he taketh upon himself the sins of the believing soul through the wedding-ring, that is to say, through faith ; so must all sins be drowned and absorbed 124 A SKETCH OF THE RISE AND PROGRESS in him For his triumphant righteousness is too strong for all sins Therefore is faith only the righteousness of man, and the keeping all the commandments ; for whoever fulfilleth the first principal commandment — 'Thou shalt honour thy God' — keeps assuredly and easily all other commandments This is nothing else hut the piety of the heart; this is the head and the iv hole being of JioUness Now from all this it follows, that a Christian lives not for himself only, but in Christ and in his neighbour; in Christ through faith, in his neighbour through love.
