But whoever looks into the perfect law of liberty, and continues therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work…

II. MAN'S DUTY IN RELATION TO THIS LAW.

III. THIS ADVANTAGES RESULTING. "This man shall be blessed in his deed."

1. He shall have the approval of his own mind.

2. He shall be blessed with increasing light and knowledge.

3. That which he doeth shall prosper.

4. He shall be blessed after his deed. "God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love." "Every man shall be rewarded according to his works."

(Joseph Taylor.)
