The giving of Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit...

Christ was given for this purpose, that forgiveness of sins might be bestowed on us for His sake.  He was also given so that the Holy Spirit might bring forth in us new and eternal life and eternal righteousness.  Therefore, the Law cannot truly be kept unless the Holy Spirit is received through faith.  So Paul says that the Law is established through faith, and not made useless, because the Law can only be kept when the Holy Spirit is given.
~BOC, AP, V (III), 11-12
