Definition:
Law
¡ In Scripture the âLawâ consists of commands or rules: âwhat we should do, should not do, and how to live.â
¡ The Law is about what we do or do not do, or Godâs judgment on us.
¡ It shows our sin (mirror), threatens our sinning and accuses us of doing evil (curb), and helps us to make decisions when we desire to do what is God pleasing (guide).
Gospel
¡ The Gospel is all about what GOD DOES FOR US. It is free.
¡ We do nothing in the Gospel, but Christ does it all.
¡ The Gospel is about the sacrifice of Christ on the cross and Godâs Love for us.
¡ If the Pastor talks about what God has done or is doing for us that is Gospel.
