They make the CofW a covenant of Graciousness instead of a covenant that has a debt attached to it. It messes up the fact that the Messiah had to fulfill the Covenant of Works. It matters in the fact that we are imputed with something that we didn't earn in the beginning but Christ earned it for us.

Nikki this may help a little.

"Our object should not be to have scripture on our side but to be on the side of scripture; and however dear any sentiment may have become by being long entertained, so soon as it is seen to be contrary to the Bible, we must be prepared to abandon it without hesitation."
