Law and Gospel

Has the modern world taken too strong a dose of the gospel as its inheritance from the Reformation?

Paul knew, and so do we: the law doesn’t change hearts or heal the world. More demands won’t do the trick.

God makes all things new. He refashions us from those turned in upon ourselves, turned to idols of our own choice and making, to experience the freedom He gives by pronouncing us His righteous children.

What does being free from sin, which is obviously a good thing, have to do with being free from the Law, which sounds dangerous?

The church does well to remind the world that God is unmasked, indeed, that God has unmasked himself in the person of Jesus.
