John Wesley nicely explained...

Object:
John Wesley nicely explained why we do not need the law because Christ lives in us: ...[Christ has become] a fountain of life in my inmost soul from which all my tempers, words, and actions flow.
Martin Luther further elaborates on what happens in our lives when Christ lives in us. "It further follows from this that a Christian man living in this faith has no need of a teacher of good works..." We may see this in an everyday example. When a husband and wife really love one another, have pleasure in each other, and thoroughly believe in their love, who teaches them how they are to behave one to another, what they are to do or to do, say or not to say, what they are to think? (Luther's Works, Vol. 44, pp. 26-27).
