Matthew1344
Puritan Board Sophomore
The terms "active and passive obedience" have been treated differently by different writers, so confusion is to be expected. I take it as looking at all of Christ's life from two perspectives:He was always fulfilling the law (active), and he was always prepared to be the perfect sacrifice (passive).
Can you elaborate more on this?
How was he prepared?
My line of thinking before I read this was
Passive obedience: Christ always suffering the consequences of sin, especially at the cross, and defeating them at the cross.
But now I'm thinking I was way off.
