The book of Galatians is the authoritative book on this subject. It distinctly separates the law and the gospel, the works of the law and our faith in the gospel.

According to Lutheranism: The law convicts. It is "a curb, a rule and a mirror" in the words of Luther. All humans are unable to keep the law. The Gospel offers salvation to us, the sinners who cannot attain sanctification by our works. The Gospel offers salvation as a free gift from God, through the saving work of Jesus. Both the Law and the Gospel are from God; both are necessary.
