Are You Living By The Gospel?

Everything that isn't gospel is law. Every way we try to make ourselves good that isn't rooted in the good news of the life, death, resurrection and ascension of Jesus Christ is damnable, crushing, despair-breading, Pharisee producing law. Martin Luther said, "To those who believe in Christ there are no works so bad as to accuse and condemn us, but again, there are no works so good that they could save and defend us." Are you living by the gospel? Has grace penetrated your brain and changed you? Are you clinging to anything else but the saving grace of our Lord Jesus Christ?
