BASIC LAW AND GOSPEL
matthew 5:48 is law---------- Jesus states we must be perfect as God is perfect ..
THE LAW SHOWS OUR SINS -------------IT DOES NOT SAVE,,, IT DAMNS US ALL --TO HELL ------BECAUSE WERE ALL GUILTY OF BREAKING GODS LAWS
JAMES 2 :10 LEAVES NO SURVIVORS AT ALL,, NOT EVEN ONE.. WERE ALL GUILTY OF BREAKING THE WHOLE LAW ..
-Sweet sinless Jesus points out to us in Matthew 5;28 we sin in thoughts and urges also ..
(the law that shows all of our sins )
1 Corinthians 6:9-11
New King James Version (NKJV)
9 Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals,[a] nor sodomites, 10 nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. 11
THE GOSPEL ON THE OTHER HAND SHOWS OUR ONLY SAVIOR JESUS FROM OUR SINS
(The Gospel that shows our ONLY savior from our sins)
11--And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God.
THE BIBLE GIVES US TWO MAIN MESSAGES WE ALL DESERVE HELL
yET God shows his love and mercy and salvation in Christ -------------- John 3:16
now we would not want to apply the Gospel message to the unrepentent------------because that would help fix them in unrepentent sin and we would not want to apply law to the repententent because that would leave them with out hope in Jesus ..
that is why both messages are generally applied to all people and for those unrepentent Law is used heavy--- and for the repentent Gospel is used heavy.

AN EXAMPLE
Thesis III.
Rightly distinguishing the Law and the Gospel is the most difficult and the highest art of Christians in general and of theologians in particular. It is taught only by the Holy Spirit in the school of experience.
Thesis VI.
In the second place, the Word of God is not rightly divided when the Law is not preached in its full sternness and the Gospel not in its full sweetness, when, on the contrary, Gospel elements are mingled with the Law and Law elements with the Gospel.
