The Westminster Larger Catechism

Q.97. How does the moral law apply specifically to the saved?

A. Although those who are saved and believe in Chri st are freed from the moral law as a covenant of works,[1] so that they are neither justified[2] nor condemned[3] by it, nonetheless, in addition to the general applicability of the moral law to all humans, it specifically shows believers how much they owe to Christ for fulfilling it and for enduring its curse in their place and for their good.[4] This recognition spurs believers on to a greater thankfulness,[5] so that they try all the harder to observe the law as their personal standard for living.[6]
