XII. Of the Harmony of the Law and the Gospel ᏗᏙᎵ ᎨᏒ ᏗᎧ Ꮏ ᏩᏛᏍᏗ ᎣᏍᏛ ᎧᏃᎮᏛᏃ
We believe that the law of God is the eternal and unchangeable rule of his moral
government; that it is holy, just and good; and that the inability which the scriptures
ascribe to fallen men to fulfill its precepts arises entirely from their love of sin; to deliver
them from which, and to restore them through a Mediator to unfeigned obedience to the
holy law, is one great end of the gospel, and of the means of grace connected with the
establishment of the visible church.
