IAOC and the Stability of the Law
The scenario is not so simple to affirm that those who did not adhere to the imputation of Christ’s active obedience had no covenant of works in their theology. What they did not have was a sense of stability of the law that pervaded even the covenant of grace, which most in the opposing group were starting to connect to Christ’s obedience to the commands.
