Announcing Law/Gospel Week

We are going to do something we have not done before. We are going to have a law/gospel week! There is a law day in our country on May 1 for understanding how the law and the legal process protects our liberty.  The law/gospel distinction does help protect our liberty. We need more than just a civil use. There is a gospel day in July sometime on some islands somewhere where Roman Catholics and Protestants celebrate together. That’s no good. So it seems we need a law/gospel week!  We are going to have an episode release every day for one week on the law/gospel distinction as well as a blog post every day for one week. Some of the material will be a rewind, some of it will be new. We will do this the week of April 28-May 4.

Why should we spend a week looking at the law/gospel distinction? Why is it worth a whole week? 1) It helps us read our Bibles better. 2) This category helps keep us from legalism and license. 3) It gets the doctrine of justification right as well as help with sanctification. 4) It helps in evangelism. 5) It helps with pastoral ministry. Your counseling and preaching ministries just might be affected. 6) It is assurance giving. Lastly, Christ gets the glory He deserves. Christ is the one who fulfilled the law so that we are no longer under it in the “do this and live” sense. We are free in the Christian life to obey. It’s good news for believers to.
