Law Of God

The Christian is released from the law as the procuring ground of his justification and
as the ground of his condemnation before God, because Christ has rendered in his room
and stead that perfect obedience which the law required, and also suffered its penalty:
therefore he is freed from the law as a covenant of works, to obtain life and glory thereby,
but not from that submission to God which its terms enjoin. The Christian has been de-livered
from the curse of the law (Gal. 3:13), but not from its requirements. The Christian
has been delivered from the condemning power of the law, but not from its precepts—
otherwise liberty would be his to live in sin, which is the only other possible alternative.
The Christian has been delivered from the terror of the law, but not from obedience
thereto. The Christian died to the penalty of the law when his Surety suffered in his stead,
but he is under the law to Christ as a Rule of Life or director of conduct.
