The faith through which the soul is justified, while it utterly rejects works of any kind as joint grounds of justification, yet invariably produces, as evidences of its own genuineness, fruits of love. That very law of God, which writes nothing but condemnation against every one that has not "fled for refuge to lay hold of the hope set before him in the Gospel," is itself written, yea, bound by cords of love, upon the heart of every one that has received in Jesus the pardon of every transgression, the remission of every sin. Every attempt to keep the word of the Lord, which is made by any one that has not been accepted in Christ Jesus, is, and must be, a failure: it is self-righteous in motive, false in principle, and full of sin in practice.
