“Well then, why were the laws given? They were added after the promise was given, to show men how guilty they are of breaking God’s Laws. But this system of law was to last only until the coming of Christ, the Child to whom God’s promise was made. God gave his laws to angels to give to Moses. who then gave them to the people ;but then God gave his promise to Abraham, he did it by himself alone, without angels or Moses as go-betweens.
Well then, are God’s laws and God’s promise against each other?
Of course not! If we could be saved by his laws, then God would not have had to give us a different way to get out of the grip of sin–for the Scriptures insist we are all its prisoners. The only way out is through faith in Jesus Christ; the way of escape is open to all who believe him.”
Until Christ came we were guarded by the law, kept in protective custody, so to speak, until we could believe in the coming Savior”
Let me put it another way. The Jewish laws were our teacher and guide until Christ came to give us right standing with God through our faith. But now that Christ has come, we don’t need those laws any longer to guard us and lead us to him. For now we are all his children of God through faith in Jesus Christ, and we who have been baptized into union with Christ are enveloped by him. We are no longer Jews or Greeks or slaves or free men or even merely me or women, but we are all the same—we are Christians; we are one in Christ Jesus. And now that we are Christ’s we are the true descendants of Abraham, and all of God’s promises to him belong to us” Amen and Amen!!!
