What Grace Does
The Law says, “You have not continued in all that I require of you, and therefore you are cursed.” And the gospel says, “Christ has redeemed you from the curse of the law, by being made a curse for you.”
The Law says, “You are a sinner, and therefore you should be damned.” And the gospel says, “Jesus came into the world to save sinners.”
The Law says, “If you disown Jesus before men, he will disown you before his Father.” And the gospel says, “Jesus has risen, go tell the disciples, but especially tell Peter.”
