"What are Christians to obey? The Bible is the simple answer of course, but upon further investigation, things are not quite that simple. For example, I am sure we have all heard a Christian condemning and calling homosexuality an abomination based upon Leviticus 1822 or 2013. However, if one looks on the next page at Leviticus 1927, should we not also conclude that we should not get haircuts or shave? Why is one normative, but not the other?" "Christianity, after all, is not simply a code of ethics. It is not just a moral system. Being a Christian is not simply trying to 'do what Jesus did.' No, the foundation of the Christian life is the gospel of Jesus Christ. All else flows from the good news of Christ crucified for sinners. As Michael Horton writes, 'It is the Good News that yields good works. Salvation is not the prize for our obedience but the source.'" "The law of Christ cannot be reduced to a list of do's and don'ts. It certainly involves specific things that can be 'listed' as right or wrong, but it is far more than a list like the ten words written on stone. The law of Christ is love, but it is also the example of Christ. Everything Christ taught is part of his law, but so is everything his apostles taught a vital part of his law. Christ himself is his law personified. The whole of Scripture, as interpreted through the lens of Christ as the new covenant prophet, priest, and king, is a part of the law of Christ." May the Sovereign Lord be pleased to bless you, as you read and contemplate the glory of the new covenant in Christ, to see Christ more fully and more gloriously, as the full and final authoritative Word by whom God has spoken in these last days.

The Law of Christ A Theological Proposal A Blake White 9781928965336 Books Reviews
I greatly enjoyed every part of this book. I agree wholeheartedly with White's conclusions (probably why I enjoyed it so much!) and would recommend this to any person that has ever struggled with the question of "What are Christians to obey?"
My full review here[...]
Some of you may recognize my name as a co-writer of the book, New Covenant Theology. One point of NCT is to show that the Law of Christ is THE law under the new Covenant, replacing the Mosaic law. That does NOT mean that every law in the Mosaic code has been abolished. It does mean that the code itself has been set aside and a new code has taken its place. Whenever a nation or any other organization, for example, forms a new constitution and by-laws, many of the old code's laws show up again.
Blake White has writtn this book to defend the idea of the newness of the code we are under in serving Christ. I felt impelled to commend this book for two reasons. First, I myself wrote a book on the law of Christ that has not been published and now probably will never be published! That's how good this book is. Second, when I read this one I felt as envious as any human can feel! So, in fairness to Blake White I had to say so. By all means, get it and read it!
Blake White has such a great way of explaining the Scriptures. This book is certainly helpful and worth reading. It made certain parts of the Scriptures clearer to me.
A. Blake White is not only a scholar worth ten times his weight in gold but a gentleman also. Thank you so much for this book.
