"The meaning of this and how these words with those in the two preceding verses prove that we are saved by the positive Righteousness of Christ as well as by his atonement. see Miscell. N. 1106.B.7."

RIGHTEOUSNESS OF CHRIST. That salvation is not only by the atonement of Christ but by his obedience to the law or commands of God is manifest, by Hebrews 10:8-10. Above when he said sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin thou wouldst not neither hadst pleasure therein which are offered BY THE LAW. Then said he Lo I come to DO THY WILL O God He taketh away the first that he may establish the second BY THE WHICH WILL we are sanctified. In what Christ says in Psalms 40 which is here quoted by the Apostle Christ speaks of his appearing in the form of a servant or become a servant to God for our sakes like the servant that had his ear bored to perform an upright willing service to God & perfect obedience to his law. I delight to do thy will O my God & thy law is within my heart. The Apostle here signifies that it was by that WILL or that LAW as it was fulfill'd in the human nature of Christ (here called his body) that we are sanctified & not the ceremonial law as fulfilled in Levitical sacrifices which law the Apostle speaks of in the 8th verse.

Heb. 10:8-18
