He despised the liberating power of Christ when it was nearest him. He offended the greatest love. He will be lost, not because the Lord was unrighteous, by demanding what he could not do. He will be lost, because God in Christ demonstrated His grace, in demanding what he could, but would not do. Now it becomes dangerous in the Church.
Good works are no law, but the highest and richest gospel.
Christ not only bought us with His blood and liberated us, but by His Spirit He also renewed us after His image. We don't have to ask this question anymore. We must do them, because we can do them. I cannot evade the law, while the law has been revealed as the highest gospel. No, for this great love is ever a serious matter.
