In the first part of today’s episode, Rev. Bryan Wolfmueller talks through his theses on love, including:

Love is the summary of the law

Love is not a replacement of the law

Love takes shape according to the 10 commandments

Love is shaped by the needs of the neighbor

Love of God is connected to the love of the neighbor

Command to love shows our sins

We know we’re sinners because we actually try to love

God is love

Then, Rev. Brian Kachelmeier joins in to talk about the understanding from the Lutheran confessions that the Law always accuses. He connects this concept to how what it means to accuse is directly linked to what it means to satisfy the law. Find Rev. Kachelmeier’s blog posts on this topic at redeemertheologicalacademy.org.
