Law and Gospel
In
Protestant
Christianity
, the relationship between
Law and Gospel
—
God's Law
and the
Gospel
of
Jesus Christ
—is a major topic in
Lutheran
and
Reformed
theology. In these
traditions
, the distinction between the doctrines of Law, which demands obedience to God's
ethical
will, and Gospel, which promises the
forgiveness
of
sins
in light of the person and work of
Jesus Christ
, is critical. It is used as a
hermeneutical
principle of biblical interpretation and a guiding principle in
homiletics
(sermon composition) and
pastoral care
. It is the
supersession
of the
Old Covenant
(including traditional Jewish law, or
halakha
) by the
New Covenant
and
Christian theology
.
