Summary
Beloved, while eagerly preparing to write you about the salvation we share, I find it necessary to write and appeal to you to contend for the faith that was once for all entrusted to the saints. While eagerly preparing to write to you about the salvation we share, he wanted to write to the believers about the salvation that they share, the common salvation, the salvation that no longer separated the Jewish people from the Gentiles, but the salvation that was for all in Jesus Christ. Or we pervert the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ by shaping it around the sins of those we love, those we care for because we want to keep the peace. And so without regard for the pushback, the feedback that he would get from the church, he wrote, he wrote, of the full truth, warning of those who are trying to pervert the gospel, pervert the law. When we face the full truth of our sin and I contend that in his mercy, our Lord doesn't even let us see the full weight and full truth and full breadth and full depth of our sin. In 1517, there was a man by the name of Martin Luther, who wanting to keep peace, yet knowing that he must stand for truth for the trunks of God's Word, the law and the gospel.
