Episode notes
Law And Gospel As Divine Actions
- The law and the gospel are described as two distinct divine actions revealing God's righteousness and grace.
- Carl Fredrik Wisløff emphasizes that the law is far more than mere morality; it terrifies and convicts the conscience.
Truth, Not Quality, Decides Repentance
- Wisløff stresses that the decisive factor between Judas and Peter was truth, not merely the quality of their contrition.
- Melanchthon argues the presence of 'truth' determines whether repentance leads to salvation.
Faith Is Formed By Word And Sacrament
- Faith comes through the preached Word and sacraments as instruments that produce trust in the heart.
- Wisløff highlights 'Fidem ex verbo concipi' and that faith is worked by God's Word and Spirit, not a mere human decision.
