Episode notes

If you don't have imputation of Christ's righteousness, it's not grace. And you really don't have the God of the Bible. We're putting parts of the Bible out, therefore we are minimizing the perfections of God and therefore we do not have theGod of Scripture anymore. The law is not an unjust tyrant. At work, the gospel is the thing that frees us from the damnation that we deserve. But we should not oppose them in that way. Am I being clear on this? Yes. Absolutely.

Proponents of the law-gospel distinction have often emphasized the need for them to appear in the right order. But how important is that order? In this episode of White Horse Inn, hosts Michael Horton, Justin Holcomb, Bob Hiller, and Walter Strickland discuss what’s at stake if the law and gospel are out of order or confused.
