What Luther Says...The Flech Needs to be Bridled

The Commandments are necessary, not that we should be justified through their works but that we, as those who are already justified, may know in which way our spirit should crucify the flesh and direct us in the affairs of this life, so that the flesh may not turn wanton and, snapping the reigns, throw the rider, the spirit of faith. The reins must be put not on the rider but on the horse.
