I teach preaching courses at Reformed Theological Seminary and this a has been a key theme for my teaching as well as my life. I often used the analogy of the music and the dance and have a blog by that name: www.themusicandthedance.com. The point of the analogy is that the muisc of the gospel has to be the inspiration and empowerment for the life or love to which God calls us. “The faith that ... is able to warm itself at the fire of God's love, instead of having to steal love and self-acceptance from other sources, is actually the root of holiness...” Richard Lovelace I’m just leaving a comment to encourage you on this journey and in sharing it so clearly.

It's not a fast read, but it's changing the way I look at my own sanctification....it's so freeing and makes me all the more grateful to my Savior for His finished and "ongoing" work in me! I'm looking forward to reading more from you. What a blessing! This goes along with the fabulous book that you gave me to read, The Gospel Mystery of Sanctification.

So many of us have listened to only part of the gospel message. I did this for years. We accept forgiveness but try to go it alone in sanctification. Jesus died to set us free from the penalty and the power of sin. Amen to your Gospel Driven post. Excellent Post! So many of us have listened to only part of the gospel message. I did this for years.

It brings so much peace, joy, forgiveness and understanding. "My yoke is easy and my burden light" Matthew 11:28-30. Many blessings on opening a new door!
