“We have to ground obedience in the gospel, Calvin insists. It is enough for the Papists if they can extort by terror some sort of forced obedience, I know not what. But Paul, that he might bind us to God, not by servile fear, but by the voluntary and cheerful love of righteousness, allures us by the sweetness of that favor by which our salvation is effected; and at the same time he reproaches us with ingratitude unless we, after having found a Father so kind and bountiful, do strive in our turn to dedicate ourselves wholly to him.”
