Ardicks Adventures Continues

So what do you think?
"We cry down th elaw in respect of justification, but we set it up as a rule of sanctification. The law sends us to the gospel that we may be justified; and the gospel sends us to the law again to inquire what is our duty as those who are justified." "Yet we know that, for the substance of it (the law), it is the image of God, a beam of His holiness. The things therin commanded and forbidden are things morally, and therefore eternally, good and evil; nothing can alter the nature of them." The law is subservient to the Gospel. Its purpose is to convince and humble us, and the Gospel is to enable us to fulfill the obedience of the law." Theis was the great end of our redemption; He redeemed us from bondage and brought us into freedom, from slavery to service." Reference Luke 1:74 and Samuel Bolton.
