May the Lord richly bless you, I was recently told by a young Jedi, that what we do here is not glorifying to God, and that it does not produce the kind of fruit he wants to be a part of..........But we do all things with the view of glorifying the King of Kings and Lord of Lords! He alone is worthy, we are sinners saved by grace the Lord uses to lead others in the way of Truth! Right on Brad B!

It exemplifies the law gospel distinction and why it is a valuable Reformed distinctive. Knowledge of the price paid and the depths of our depravity if embraced produce a power to perform the works of the law from out of the heart because of gratitide. Modern evangelicals are seldom exposed to the raw truth of their sin, so they really never fully appreciate the price paid in a way that wells up passion from the heart to perform what thier Lord has commanded. What they are left with is external forms of obedience when they encounter law in the NT which is no more beneficial to them than any other "work". So, thanks for laying out these important scriptures and displaying the truth of the gospel--what God did.
