The Law requires a perfect and perpetual Obedience, Gal. 3. 10. Should thy Soul be set free from all the charge of past sins, yet thy defect of Righteousness would undo thee for ever. They must be righteous that enter into Life Eternal, Math. 25. 47. Even as Righteous as God is Righteous: But this is impossible to be attain’d by lapsed man, In many things we offend all, Jam. 3. 2. There is none Righteous, no not one, Rom. 3. 10. And therefore there must be a Righteousness procured for, and imputed to Believers, and that is the Righteousness of Christ: The Commutation of his Obedience for our Disobedience, Rom. 5. 19. By the Obedience of one shall many be made Righteous.
