You who have been under the heavy burden of the covenant of works as a sinner, trying to produce enough righteousness to have a right standing with God, trying to be acceptable to God by your works, trying to find peace and rest in your soul through your works, Jesus says, instead, come to Me. Simply come without your works. without merits, bringing me nothing. Just come! I will give you rest for free, apart from any works of your own. I will take care of everything for you. I will provide you with all the righteousness you need to stand before God. A perfect righteousness that I will give you credit for. My obedience to the law you get credit for and I will give it to you for free. I obey the law for you. Simply trust my law keeping in your place and rest in that.
