Law & Gospel.
The Bible is God’s Word and can be distinguished into three categories. The first is information—This is historical, geographical, scientific, genealogical, mathematical, indicative statements, etc. This is, for lack of a better word, informative. But the Bible is more than just information. It imparts wisdom and forms the Christian life. This is where Law and Gospel come in. Simply put, the Law is what God commands us to do—e.g., the 10 Commandments. But within the same Word, God speaks His Gospel. The Gospel is what God has done, is doing, or has promised to do for us—i.e., forgiveness of sins through the death and resurrection of Christ. In order to understand Holy Scripture, we need to learn the distinction within the Word of God itself.
