Script: How Lutheran Read the Bible Law and Gospel You might remember our discussion of law and gospel from our session on Lutheran theology and how God works in the world, but here is a quick review. God’s law shows us what we should do and it shows us when we do not do it. God’s gospel frees us and saves us in spite of our failures. Here you’ll find a wealth of resources to help you grow in your faith, add depth to your Bible studies and truly discover the people, places and events of the Bible. Think of Enter the Bible as your guide, a helpful reference tool to accompany you in your reading of the Bible. We hope you Enter the Bible every time you open the Word.
