A treatise of effectual calling and election by Christopher Love

Thirdly, the coventant of works requires that you should should obey the will of God perfectly in your own person The covent of grace requires that you obey in the person of Christ. So Christ obeys for you; it is accepted, though you do not do it yourself.

Fourth, the covenant of works requires you to obey the whole will of God by your own strength. The covenant of grace accepts your obedience, though not done in our own strength, but by the strength of Christ is put forth in doing any spiritual action. p. 158

It is great that we are not saved under the covenant of works. Since Adam on Jesus has lived without sin.
