Scripture: Psalm 19
The distinction between law and gospel is the highest art in Christendom. —Martin Luther
“Gospel freedom does not mean you get to do whatever you want,” he said. “It means you want good things.”—D.A. Carson
When I contemplated the relationship of justification by faith with functional idolatry, it helped me explore the ways I seek to find self-justification through violation of the law of God. As Keller noted, there is a reason why we lie. It is because we find greater comfort in believing falsehood rather than being exposed by the truth. When we are justified by faith in Christ alone, we are freed to be a people who love truth and are willing to live exposed to the truth of God’s Word (Hebrews 4:12-13). —Tim Brister
