The Moral Law as the Rule of Duty

THOMAS SCOTT, the Commentator, says: "The moral law he (Jesus) came to fulfill, by perfectly obeying it, as the surety of his people, by his life, sufferings, death and doctrines; to establish it in its fullest honor and authority, and to make the most effectual provision for men's loving and obeying it. So that, as long as the world endured, not the least word, or letter, or comma, (so to speak,) of the whole law should by any means lose its authority, or fail of answering the end for which it was given: and the moral law, would, to the end of time, continue the standard of sin and holiness to all men, and the believers' RULE OF DUTY."—Notes on Matt. v, 17, 18
