"The demands of God are understood in the Reformed tradition as the good gift of God to be received with gratitude, exercised for the welfare of all human beings, and obeyed in confidence that God's grace gives us the ability to do what God's law requires. Law, in other words, is a part of the gospel of saving grace, not something opposed to it or some alternative to it."

Calvin ~ “The law is to the flesh like a whip to an idle and balky ass, to arouse it to work” (Institutes, 361).
