1. It is important to keep in mind that this passage is NOT simply an statement of imitating the example of Christ. Owen explains in his book the Holy Spirit that our faith is much more that a system of examples to aspire to and emulate. To reduce our faith to this would be to deny the supernatural part of our faith, put the focus on our effort (works) and become atheistical (Godless). 2. The foundation of all of the virtues and actions we are to emulate result from being "IN CHRIST." 3. Can anyone really attain the virtues being addressed in this section? What typically happens when important things area taken away or threatened in NOT same love, one purpose, selflessness, other centered, etc. The result is more typically PERSONAL INTERESTS. 4. A great study to compliment this section is to read Book III in Owen's works with a particular focus on how the Holy Spirit worked in the life of Christ. Reading this section in Owen's works sets out how much Jesus depended on the Holy Spirit for EVERYTHING. His conception, growth, ability to teach, obey, suffer, die, lifelessly ie in the tomb, and rise again. 5. This argument is taken up briefly in the footnote on page 196 in Fee. 6. Is the encouragement, consolation, fellowship, affection, and compassion, defined in versus 5–11? That is, is its foundation Christocentric? Or, Human? If it is Christocentric, id the focus "death"? Death to self? Wanting the self encouraged? Wanting human consolation? Wanting human fellowship? Human affection and compassion? Or is this encouragement from being "in Christ?" Consolation from forgiveness of sin, being chosen, heaven, (See Owen on Consolation of the Spirit). etc? Fellowship with Christ. Father and Holy Spirit.
