12. Of the Harmony of the Law and the Gospel

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.

We believe that the Law of God is the eternal and unchangeable rule of his moral government;

Rom. 3:31; Matt. 5:17; Luke 16:17; Rom. 3:20; 4:15

that it is holy, just, and good;

Rom. 7:12, 7, 14, 22; Gal. 3:21; Psa. 119

Rom. 8:7-8; Josh. 24:19; Jer. 13:23; John 6:44; 5:44

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.
