"Law and Grace Come Together at the Cross..." Kevin Swanson

This is a snippet from Doug Wilson's blog...do we
respond as sons and daughters as Swanson would say?

Don't react....think about it.

...First, a restatement of my view on this. The Scripture is what it is, and contains both promises and imperatives. For the one who reads the Scripture in evangelical faith, he sees all the imperatives in the context of a larger grace. For the one who reads the Scripture in unbelief, he can sound out the promises, but they are always trumped by what he thinks is the larger demand of "do this and live." The former contextualizes everything as a subset of God's grace. The latter contextualizes everything as a subset of law.

For the believer, even the Ten Commandments can be understood as gracious. The preamble reminds the Jews that these words were coming from the one who brought them out of the house of bondage. For the unbeliever, even the message of the cross is foolishness, an intolerable demand. So that, in a nutshell, is what I think is going on with law and gospel...whole thing here

The fact that most believers respond like the non-believers to God's Laws speaks volumes about US.
