Romans 10:4

The end of the law for righteousness; the true end of the law is to give eternal life; but to fallen sinful men it becomes the occasion of death. Chap Romans 7:10. Christ, by delivering those who believe on him from both the condemnation of the law and the reigning power of sin, brings them into a state of eternal life, and thus accomplishes the end of the law. That righteousness which men vainly seek by their own works, they may freely attain by believing in Christ. They may also in this way be led from the heart to yield an obedience to the law, which they otherwise never would have rendered; and to perform works which will receive a gracious and abundant reward.
