Description
Law or Grace? Grace and Law?
Karl Barth, the most important theologian of the 20th century gives the following metaphor on the relationship between grace and law: for the People of the Covenant the place of the Tables of the Law was the Ark of the Covenant; the covenant embraces the law, precedes, and follows it. The hutch of the covenant of grace, nevertheless, is not empty; it holds the law of this covenant codified by God. The curse of the law is thus the misunderstood law and the misunderstood – and self-overestimated – men, while the strength, joy and freedom required for the fulfilment of the law cannot come from anywhere else, but from the Holy Spirit as the gracious gift of God.
