Christ inviting sinners to come to him for rest

The Fifth Lesson.

Fifthly, from our being delivered from the Law, we are to Learn this, That we are not to judg our coming into Christ, nor to judge our faith by the Law, by our ⟨p. 258⟩coming to Christ we are delivered from the Law, therefore (I say) we are not to make up any judgment of our coming to Christ, nor to judge our faith by the rules of the Law. Though the propounding of this it may be, is a little obscure at first, yet you will find it of marvellous use to help believers in their way, some believers very ordinarily, especially weak ones, judg of their coming to Christ, or their faith, by the Law, they make the law a rule of their faith, which certainly should not be, for if by faith we are delivered from the Law, then it must needs follow, that the Law cannot be a rule of our faith. You will say, what is that, to make the Law a rule of our faith.
