Quotes from my reading

Christianity...does not teach us by dry rules and regulations, but by setting before us, in the Person of Christ, a perfect model of what we ought to be. It presents to our view the very One who, as a test, left us without a single plea, and as a victim, left us without a single stain, and who now, as our model, is to be the subject of our admiring study and the standard at which we are ever and only to aim. - C. H. Mackintosh

We see Christ's life only to be judged by it's perfection, we accept His death to be saved through it's efficacy and then understand His life now to live by it's example.
