For verily I say unto you, till Heaven and Earth pass away, one jot, or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the Law, till all be fulfilled. As all the Predictions of the Prophets were fulfilled by him, and in him, so was the whole Law in his keeping the Precepts of it, and teaching others to do the like, and in his bearing the Penalty of it, and fulfilling the Types of it. The Gospel is so far from repealing the Penalty of the Law, that the very Gospel it self is founded on Christ's undertaking to bear the Penalty of it. Heb. 9.15, 16. There could have been no Testament, but in and through the Death of the Testator. There could have been no such thing as a Gospel, or a Tender of glad Tidings and Mercy to us, but through Christ's undertaking, as our Surety, to bear the Curse of the Law. Gal. 3.13. And so much for the Argument from the Truth of God's Threatening. ⟨p. 338⟩The Sum of what we say and believe about this great Truth, is this: 1. That by the Sin of our first Parents, all Men are brought into a State of Sin, and Apostasy from God, and of an Enmity to him. Gen. 6.5. Psal. 51.5. Rom. 3.23. & 8.7. Eph. 4.18. Col. 2.13. 2. That in this State all Men naturally continue, sinning against God, nor of themselves can do otherwise. Rom. 3.10, 11, 12. 3. That the Justice and Holiness of God, as he is the Supreme Governor and Judg of all the World, requires that Sin be punished. Exod. 34.7. Josh. 24.19
