Law and Gospel

Our anxiety about the future is a consequence of our old self’s attempts to achieve freedom for himself apart from Christ Jesus.

Trusting in Christ’s promise of new life and deliverance pours the ability to abandon fixing our eyes only inwardly and lets us see ourselves as others see us.

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.
