Luther, Lockdown, Law, & Gospel | Galatians 2:1-5

Some will object that the Law is divine and holy. Let it be divine and holy. The Law has no right to tell me that I must be justified by it. The Law has the right to tell me that I should love God and my neighbor, that I should live in chastity, temperance, patience, etc. The Law has no right to tell me how I may be delivered from sin, death, and hell. It is the Gospel’s business to tell me that. I must listen to the Gospel. It tells me, not what I must do, but what Jesus Christ, the Son of God, has done for me.

I live in the Midwest with my lovely wife, Angela and our amazing 3 children. I enjoy writing about the way law/gospel tension expresses itself in daily life, art, and culture. I love cinema, jazz, historical stuff, coffee, and sparkling juice. I am also a contributing writer at Mockingbird Ministry and Cinema Faith.
