The Value of the Bible

There are 2 main doctrines in the Bible

Like a knife and fork, they are different, yet they are used with each other.

The Law The GospelThe Law and the Gospel are 2 doctrines that God uses throughout the whole Bible.

The Law and the Gospel seem to contradict each other, because the Law says that God hates sinners but the Gospel says God loves sinners.

The Law serves the Gospel; the Gospel is always the greater message and God’s final word of peace for a repentant sinner.

The Law and the Gospel are two separate doctrines that “grind” with each other as they work together

like a knife and fork work together.
