This lesson begins Article 5 of the Formula of Concord (FOC) and is titled Law and Gospel. In His Word, God speaks His Law and His Gospel. It is easy for us to confuse God's judgment and grace. We fail to distinguish between what God demands of us and what He has done for us in Christ. Forgiven in Jesus, the Holy Spirit leaves us with the comfort and hope of the Gospel of eternal life and salvation, while continuing to convict us of our sin. As Christians, we must understand how both Law and Gospel terms are used in Scripture and confess with diligence their distinction.
