The Distinction Between Law and Gospel

What is the Law of God, and what is its purpose? In this sermon from Matthew 22:34–40, we explore Jesus’ answer to the question, “What is the greatest commandment in the Law?”—and why that answer matters. We’re reminded that the Law demands perfect love for God and neighbor, and that no one can meet its standard. But that sets the stage for the Gospel, the good news of what Christ has done. This message lays the foundation for understanding the difference between Law and Gospel—two words that change everything.
