When is there sin in the world? Only when there is a law which can be broken. But when the law becomes so united with human nature that man only does good, then there can be no [more] sin. Man only contradicts the law of the Cross as long as it does not live within him, but is something external. Therefore Paid sees the Christ on the Cross as the conquest of law and the conquest of sin. To hang on the Cross means to be subjected to the law—and that is a curse. Sin and the law belong together in the Old Covenant, the law and love belong together in the New Covenant. It is a negative law which is involved in the Old Covenant; but the law of the New Covenant is a living positive law. He who united the Old Covenant with His own life is the One who has overcome it. He has at the same time sanctified it.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"13.

Wann ist die Sünde in der Welt? Wenn eben ein Gesetz da ist, das übertreten werden kann. Wenn aber das Gesetz so mit der menschlichen Natur vereinigt ist, daß das, was der Mensch tut, das Gute ist, dann kann es keine Sünde geben. Nur so lange widerspricht der Mensch dem Kreuzgesetz, als es nicht in ihm lebt, solange es äußerlich ist. Daher sieht Paulus den Christus am Kreuz als die Überwindung des Gesetzes und die Überwindung der Sünde an. Ein Fluch ist es, am Holze des Kreuzes zu hangen, das heißt, dem Gesetze zu verfallen. Sünde und Gesetz gehören zusammen nach dem alten Bund, Gesetz und Liebe gehören zusammen nach dem neuen Bund. Es ist ein negatives Gesetz, welches verbunden ist mit dem alten Bund; ein positives Gesetz, das lebt, ist aber das Gesetz des neuen Bundes. Der hat das Gesetz des alten Bundes überwunden, der es mit seinem eigenen Leben vereinigt hat.
