Paul, Luther, and the Law

Author Perry Toso has become convinced that a person's entire life on earth can be realistically understood as training for facing their last five minutes of existence. In those moments, every ancillary concern is swept away! This will expose what has always been a person's ground of confidence for the claim that they possess the hope of life eternal. Jesus' righteousness must be the basis of this hope. However, that truth at the heart of Paul's and Luther's teaching is rarely actually preached! In the great majority of preaching, Jesus' righteousness is combined with human righteousness--a human improvement project directed mostly by the Law. Yet one of these two righteousnesses must absolutely annihilate the other. Only one is left standing. A person's last five minutes on earth will reveal that Jesus' righteousness, alone, is the only possible ground of assurance.
