In this episode of Puritan Moments, we explore a profound passage from John Colquhoun's "The Law and the Gospel" examining the foundation of God's sovereign authority over mankind. Colquhoun reveals how God's right to command perfect obedience flows from His nature as Creator, preserver, benefactor, and sovereign ruler. This 15-minute devotional unpacks the theological richness of natural law and our absolute subjection to our Creator, offering gospel-centered insights for believers today.

In this episode, we dive deep into a powerful excerpt from John Colquhoun’s classic The Law and the Gospel, where he states that law and gospel are the “center, sum, and substance of all the other parts” of Scripture. What does that mean for how we read the Bible, understand redemptive history, and live the Christian life?

Through theological reflection and pastoral application, we explore how every passage of Scripture and every human life falls along the twin lines of conformity to the moral law and belief or disbelief in the gospel. Drawing from Romans, Galatians, and the wisdom of the Puritans, this teaching will help you rightly divide the Word of Truth—and rejoice more deeply in the finished work of Christ.

John Newton powerfully describes our natural state apart from Christ—hateful in God’s sight and filled with hostility toward one another. But through faith, by union with Christ, we are brought into fellowship with the Father, the Son, and with each other. In this Puritan Moment, we reflect on the glorious truth of our communion with God and the church, as members of one body under Christ our Head. Be encouraged by the gospel’s power to reconcile and unite!
