Summary
So once again, so he would go on a missional journey, he would go, he would meet people, he would share the gospel, people would come to faith, and he would continue on, and then he would be writing letters. So how it's so important, or why it's so important to distinguish the law from the gospel in mission is because when we are sharing the law with people, and we're going to talk a lot about this during these times of study together as we're in Galatians, but as we're sharing the law with someone, we are killing them. So that by the time we're done with this adult ed series, you will go out, and it's going to be a burden of love, because every time you hear law and gospel mixed up or confused or put together in a wrong way, you're going to figure out, okay, is this the appropriate time to say, stop it, because you're going to hear it everywhere, and it's going to drive you up the wall. He was dealing with a doctrinal issue, because as he was going, and on his missional journeys, and he was sharing the law and the gospel, and people were coming to faith, and they were believing in God, and believing in the salvation they had in Christ and Christ alone, as he was going on, there were others that were coming in behind him. I really, really pray that they will come to know Christ so that they can really be good because they have the Holy Spirit and it's his goodness that dwells in them. We want them to know Jesus because when we know Jesus, we know grace and when we know grace, we know salvation.
