It is the privilege of believers to have eternal life, and the inheritance, by promise, and not by the tenor of the Law; and therefore all they, and only they are free from being under the Law. Gal. 3. 18. If the inheritance be by the Law, it is no more by promise. But God gave it to Abraham by the promise.

Were believers under the Law, they should have the inheritance by the Law: but they have it not by the Law, but by promise; and therefore are not under the Law. For the Law and the promise in the cause of righteousness, and life, will not be agreed, no more than light and darkness, fire and water, whose natures are most abhorring.

For the reference, see:
