  • Legalism and antinomianism are continual threats to the gospel of Jesus Christ. These threats have been around from the very beginning.

  • The relationship between law and gospel is an important key to an understanding of the entire biblical revelation. The purpose of Christ's incarnation, the nature of justification and sanctification, concepts of justice and righteousness, and the standards by which we will be judged in the day of Christ all fit within the framework of law and gospel.

“Reisinger charts a trustworthy and rewarding course through the narrow passage. He does so…as a fellow pilgrim, a pastor, and a teacher in the church of Jesus Christ. His passion for the subject comes through on every page…This book not only should be read but should be studied diligently by every child of God who has any interest in seeing biblical Christianity flourish in our churches once again.”

"Legalism and antinomianism are continual threats to the gospel of Jesus Christ. These threats have been around from the very beginning. They are pressing themselves upon the church today. If we would be faithful to Christ and His saving message then we must understand the law and the gospel. What is the gospel? What law are Christians to obey? Why are we to obey it? How are we to obey it? This book helps answer these foundational questions to the Christian life. It is a valuable resource as believers seek to trust and obey the Lord Jesus.”

"The relationship between law and gospel is an important key to an understanding of the entire biblical revelation. The purpose of Christ's incarnation, the nature of justification and sanctification, concepts of justice and righteousness, and the standards by which we will be judged in the day of Christ all fit within the framework of law and gospel. Ernie Reisinger never lost focus on these issues during his entire Christian ministry and has contributed much to give clarity on these important biblical teachings. This book is a must for today's preachers as we seek to maintain a healthy grasp of our task of being heralds of the gospel."

Description

Drawing heavily from Scripture and the historic Reformed tradition, this book shows how the law reveals God’s holiness, exposes human sin, and drives sinners to Christ, while the gospel proclaims the saving work of Christ for all who believe. The Law and the Gospel by Ernest Reisinger is a clear and pastoral study of the relationship between God’s law and the gospel of Jesus Christ. Addressing a subject that has often been misunderstood or neglected, Reisinger explains the distinct roles of the law and the gospel in salvation, sanctification, preaching, and the Christian life.

Written with pastoral warmth and doctrinal clarity, the book also explores how believers should rightly understand obedience, grace, repentance, and assurance. Throughout, Reisinger emphasizes that the law and the gospel are not enemies, but distinct gifts from God that work together in His redemptive purpose.

Accessible and deeply practical, The Law and the Gospel remains a helpful resource for anyone seeking a clearer understanding of this crucial doctrine.
