God's Sufficiency in the Face of Our Inadequacy

He is the God who always is, whose Word is true, and never fails. He is a God who acts and always does what he says he’s going to do.

The Law and the Falsely Terrified Conscience

And so, when you preach the Law, you are also instructing the conscience and thereby forming it. For some of your hearers, this will result in activating their consciences, making them more sensitive, so they become more aware of their sin and more urgently seek the Gospel. For others, it is a re-instruction.

The "External Word" Is the Authoritative Word of God, Too

The preached word ensured the work of the Holy Spirit, so long as it was the written word of the Gospel. Gospel preaching was the one domain in which we could be assured of the convicting, saving, and sanctifying work of the Holy Spirit.

God's Two Contradictory Words

Both these words, Law and Gospel, are from God. The sinner needs both of them. Both are true and good.

The Law and the Terrified Conscience

Separating the Law from the conscience is not just bad because it makes the Law ineffective. If the Law and the conscience are not brought together, it also means leaving the conscience unaddressed and unassuaged when the Gospel is preached.

Our Sins Are Either With Us or With Jesus

Jesus The Antinomian?

The other day on Twitter, I saw someone insult their theological opponent with the term "free-gracer."
