Dr. Paulson begins an important conversation about distinguishing law and gospel. This distinction is central to Luther's refutation of free will. With the distinction that the letter or law kills, Scripture ends the idea that the law is given to empower free will to choose God. Likewise, the distinction that the spirit or gospel gives life emphasizes that Christ's work is total and complete and does not wait for sinners to choose life over death.  Show Notes: Support 1517 Podcast Network Fundraiser! 1517 Podcasts 1517 on Youtube 1517 Podcast Network on Apple Podcasts 1517 Academy - Free Theological Education What's New from 1517: Available Now: Encouragement for Motherhood Edited by Katie Koplin Pre-order: Hitchhiking with Prophets: A Ride Through the Salvation Story of the Old Testament by Chad Bird 30 Minutes in the NT on Youtube Remembering Rod Rosenbladt Available Now: Be Thou My Song by Kerri Tom More from the hosts: Caleb Keith Steven Pauslon
