I wish this type of expository teaching was more frequently addressed in sermons at church. In my humble opinion, we must always go back to God’ grace, remembering that even saved people remain sinners in need of grace throughout their entire lives. This takes away a level of complacency, which is good, and disallows us from being too comfortable in our spiritual walk. As the Lord told Cain, “sin lies at the door.” Understanding the Lutheran view of ‘Law and Gospel,” give two counterpoints which characterize our faith. The Law convicts, and without it one can fall into the trap of regarding ‘cheap grace’ in our broken, unsanctified state. Frequent confession and repentance, confidence in Christ, awareness of our sinful propensity, should guide the believer to remain humble before God. Spiritual warfare remains unabated until we are joined to Our Lord in glory. Soli Deo Gloria
