WLC 97: What special use is there of the moral law to the regenerate?

Answer: Although they that are regenerate, and believe in Christ, be delivered from the moral law as a covenant of works1, so as thereby they are neither justified2 nor condemned3; yet, besides the general uses thereof common to them with all men, it is of special use, to show them: How much they are bound to Christ for his fulfilling it, and enduring the curse thereof in their stead, and for their good4; and thereby to provoke them to more thankfulness5, and to express the same in their greater care to conform themselves thereunto as the rule of their obedience.6
