Law & Gospel

"The law and the gospel are in perfect harmony. Each upholds
the other. In all its majesty the law confronts the conscience, causing the sinner to feel his need of Christ as the propitiation for sin. The gospel recognizes the power and immutability of the law. "I had not known sin, but by the law, Romans 7:7" Paul declares. The sense of sin, urged home by the law, drives the sinner to the Savior."
