(a) A difference is to be observed between works of the Law and works of the Spirit. The works which a reborn person performs with a free and willing spirit are not works of the Law, but works of the Spirit which are the fruits of faith. This is because those who are reborn are not under the Law, but under Grace. Pages 589, 590, 721, 722. (b) Good works are the fruits of repentance. Page 12. (c) The reborn receive by faith a new life, new affections and new works; these are from faith in the course of repentance. Page 134. (d) After conversion and justification, man begins to be renewed in his mind, and at length in his understanding; then his will is not idle in the daily exercise of repentance. Pages 582, 673, 700. (e) We ought to repent on account of original sin as well as on account of actual sins. Page 321. Appendix, page 159. (f) With Christians repentance continues until death, because they have to wrestle with sin remaining in the flesh as long as they live. Page 327. (g) We must enter upon, and advance more and more in, the practice of the law of the Decalogue. Pages 85, 86. (h) Although the reborn are delivered from the curse of the Law, they ought still to continue observing the Divine Law. Page 718. (i) The reborn are not outside the Law, though not under the Law, for they live according to the law of the Lord. Page 722. (k) To the reborn the Law ought to be a rule of religion. Pages 596, 717. Appendix, page 156. (l) The reborn do good works of their own accord and freely, not by constraint, as though they had received no command, had heard of no threatenings, and expected no reward. Pages 596, 701. (m) With them, faith is always employed in deeds, and he who does not thus perform good works is destitute of true faith; for where there is faith there will also be good works. Page 701. (n) Charity and good fruits follow upon faith and regeneration. Pages 121, 122, 171, 188, 692. (o) Faith and works agree well together and are inseparably connected; but faith alone lays hold of the blessing without works, and yet it is not alone; hence it is that faith without works is dead. Pages 692, 693. (p) After man is justified by faith, his faith, being true and living, becomes effective through charity; for good works always follow the faith that justifies, and are most certainly found with it. Thus, faith is never alone, but is always accompanied by hope and charity. Page 586. (q) We grant that where good works do not follow faith, it is a false and not a true faith. Page 336. (r) It is as impossible to separate good works from faith as it is to separate heat and light from fire. Page 701. (s) Because the old Adam is always inherent in our very nature, the reborn have continual need of the admonition, doctrine, threatenings, and even the chastisements of the Law; for they are reproved and corrected by the Holy Spirit through the Law. Pages 719, 720, 721. (t) The reborn must wrestle with the old Adam, and the flesh must be subdued by exhortations, threatenings and stripes, because renewal of life by faith is begun only in the present life. Pages 595, 596, 724. (u) With the elect and truly reborn there remains a perpetual wrestling between the flesh and the spirit. Pages 675, 679. (x) The reason Christ promises remission of sins for good works is because they follow reconciliation, and also because good fruits must necessarily follow, and because they are the signs of promise. Pages 116, 117. (y) Saving faith is not in those who have no charity, for charity is the fruit which inevitably and necessarily follows true faith. Page 688. (z) Good works are necessary for many reasons, but not as a cause of merit. Pages 11, 17, 64, 95, 133, 589, 590, 702. Appendix, page 172. (aa) The reborn ought to co-operate with the Holy Spirit by the new gifts and powers which they have received, but in the right way. Pages 582, 583, 674, 675. Appendix, page 114. (bb) In the Confession of the Churches in the Low Countries, which was received in the Synod of Dort,* we read as follows: "Holy faith cannot be inactive in man, for it is a faith working through charity, and works which proceed from a good root of faith are good and acceptable before God, like the fruits of a good tree for we are under obligation to God to do good works. But God is no debtor unto us, inasmuch as it is God Who does them in us." * An Assembly of the Reformed Dutch Church held at Dort (present name Dordrecht) in Holland, in the years 1618 and 1619, to refute the tenets of the Armenians.
