Wrongly Dividing the Word: Overcoming the Law-Gospel Distinction

By P. Andrew Sandlin

These days we are hearing more and more about the Law-Gospel distinction. We are informed that the Bible consists of two foundational "words" or messages -- Law and Gospel. We are told that the entire Bible can be divided into these two messages. We are led to believe that these two messages, though each is God's Word, are antithetical to each other. We are apprised that the Law-Gospel distinction is the standard, historic Protestant view. We are warned that to mix Law and Gospel is to undermine salvation by grace and diminish God's ethical standards for man. We are given to understand, to put it most starkly, that to deny the Law-Gospel distinction will lead to "a blasphemous assault of the religious integrity of Jesus himself." This booklet is written to show that properly understood, law and gospel are fully compatible and that the traditional Law-Gospel distinction cannot pass serious biblical muster.
