- Rev. Borghardt's sermon had the theme of eternal life, while Edward's sermon had the theme of God's wrath and judgement. Borghardt's sermon contained much more Gospel and good news throughout the entire message, while Edward's sermon contained mostly Law, fear-invoking images, and God's eternal judgement. Borghardt's primary purpose was to tell how great God's love is for us and to tell us about this wonderful place He has prepared for those who have faith in Him, which we have access to because of what Jesus did for us. Edward simply wanted to instill fear of God's wrath.

Your comparison using Law and Gospel is a really good way to tell people the major differences between the two sermons. The message of the Law condemns us and the message of the Gospel saves us
ReplyDeleteI thought that you did a good job at mentioning God's love for us and that God is preparing a place for those who have faith in Him. I liked that you said that we can one day go to that place because of what Jesus has done for us.
