Rev Robert Kolb further explores what seems to be a real mystery, the Righteousness which is granted to us: concerning how it is we can be both sinner and saint simultaneously. He elaborates upon Luther’s explanation (e.g. in the Small Catechism) how God’s assured promise is delivered to us through both the Word and sacraments. It is therefore our responsibility to maintain faithful trust ‘in Christ alone’ without doubt, and to apply this to our vocation in life.

Rev Robert Kolb investigates in this series ‘The Two Kinds of Righteousness’ as understood by Luther, and applicable to our own roles and responsibilities in whatever way of life. As children of God being a product of His Grace, our identity is fostered by God’s expectation. This discussion reviews how we can appreciate His gift, titled ‘passive’ facet (as for Unconditional Love). Yet as members of faith we are inspired to demonstrate this very actively throughout our living and human being.
