The Law Established by the Gospel

Summary

The sermon explains that the gospel does not nullify the law but rather establishes it by fulfilling its righteous demands through Christ. Justification is by faith in the righteousness of Christ, not by works of the law, yet true faith produces good works in obedience to God's moral law. The moral law remains valid and is upheld by the gospel, which reveals sin, guides believers, and magnifies Christ's perfect righteousness. The preacher refutes the misconception that faith abolishes the law, affirming that faith and obedience are harmonious in the Christian life.
