LEAGUE OF LUST CHAPTER 19 FREE

b So that to believe such doctrines, or to obey such commands out of conscience, is to betray true liberty of conscience c and the requiring of an implicit faith, and an absolute and blind obedience, is to destroy liberty of conscience, and reason also.

LEAGUE OF LUST CHAPTER 19 FREE

God alone is Lord of the conscience, a and hath left it free from the doctrines and commandments of men which are in anything contrary to his Word, or beside it, in matters of faith or worship. e All which were common also to believers under the law f but under the New Testament the liberty of Christians is further enlarged in their freedom from the yoke of the ceremonial law, to which the Jewish Church was subjected g and in greater boldness of access to the throne of grace, h and in fuller communications of the free Spirit of God, than believers under the law did ordinarily partake of. The liberty which Christ hath purchased for believers under the gospel consists in their freedom from the guilt of sin, the condemning wrath of God, the curse of the moral law a and in their being delivered from this present evil world, bondage to Satan, and dominion of sin, b from the evil of afflictions, the sting of death, the victory of the grave, and everlasting damnation c as also in their free access to God, d and their yielding obedience unto him, not out of slavish fear, but a child-like love and willing mind.
