Melanchthon's teaching on law and gospel provided a foundation for which theological distinction?
Predestination vs Free Will
Covenant Theology
Lutheran Orthodoxy
Dispensationalism
Answer
Lutheran Orthodoxy, rooted in Melanchthon's teaching on law and gospel, delineates the crucial theological distinction between God's law, which reveals human sin and God's wrath, and the gospel, which proclaims divine forgiveness, grace, and salvation through faith in Christ. This fundamental distinction shapes Lutheran understanding of human nature, the nature of salvation, and the role of faith and works in the Christian life.
