Discussion of the thread
Different sources have described the concept of human nature in different perspectives
(Mercadante, 2018). The work of R.J Grunewald focuses on Luther's work and the Romans who
were in frontline advocating for the word of GOD. The thread analyses human nature as
described by the splash used for reference in the study. The concept of human nature relies on
the issue of corrupt which is based on the fall of Genesis 3 as described by the Bible. Grunewald
explains that "The Law exposes the sinner, the Gospel exposes the Savior who comes for
sinners". From the two issues, the author tries to explain on how human beings have been under
control of sin which in the Bible is described as anything that is against the Ten Commandments
outlined in the Bible (Eberhart, 2014).The word law as used in the thread shows the level of the
sin while on another hand the concept of gospel outlines the remedy or solution to the sins
committed by individuals in the society. The Bible proves the importance of death and
resurrection of Jesus Christ. The Bible proves that Jesus died in order to save human beings from
sin. Jesus was mistreated and crucified then died on the cross and buried then rose from the
deaths on the third day. Through the blood and death of Jesus Christ human being became
righteous and holly as described in the New Testament. The Bible shows only the righteous
individuals will enter the Kingdom of God.
From the work of Grunewald, the term righteousness is the state of being just and following the
commandments of Jesus Christ. This shows doing what is good and obeying the laws included in
the word of God. Jesus suffered to save human beings from the pools of sin as indicated in the
Bible. In his letters, Grunewald describes the issue of sanctification as the ability of Gods words
to model an individual thus helping in realizing the mighty work of Jesus Christ. On the issue of
the gift, God shows how the church helps in modeling human beings thus growing and believing
