It both judges and forgives. The Scriptures both kill and make alive. We look at the Scriptures as Law and Gospel, the Word rightly divided. God's Word calls us to repentance and over and over again tells us that we fall short of God's intention for us.
The Word convicts us of sin. The Bible also tells us in even stronger terms that we do not need to save ourselves but we have a loving Savior, Jesus Christ, who died for all our sins and offers us life and salvation.
God's Word tells us that we are loved and accepted and saved through Jesus Christ.
The message that we proclaim is not our opinion, but the message of the Scriptures.
