At the heart of this contrast are two conflicting understandings of God. For one, God is the One who requires our fulfilling the law as a necessary condition of God's pronouncing God's justifying judgment. For the other, God is the One who pronounces God's justifying judgment unconditionally, our fulfilling the law being a necessary consequence of our accepting God's judgment rather than a necessary condition of God's pronouncing it.
