Episode notes

Law and gospel in that order is absolutely key. You don't separate them. Spurgeon says, the needle of the law must precede the thread of the gospel. It's not gospel in law. Karl Barth did gospel leads to, well, now go do the law. And he actually said, that's the order you should do this.

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.
