From The Schoolmaster To The Savior

Segment I: The Identification of Bondage/ Part 4: Romans Chapters 3-4

"For the promise that he would be the heir of the world was not to Abraham or to his seed through the law, but through the righteousness of faith. For if those who are of the law are heirs, faith is made void and the promise made of no effect, because the law brings about wrath; for where there is no law there is no transgression. Therefore it is of faith that it might be according to grace, so that the promise might be sure to all the seed, not only to those who are of the law, but also to those who are of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all." (Romans 4:13-16)

This week in our journey down the Roman Road, the Apostle Paul provides us clarity as to how the Mosaic Law given as the vanguard of the Old Covenant could give way, in its intended purpose, to access to the Covenant of Promise God made with Abraham 430 years prior to its inception. In making access to this promise available to all of mankind, God also fulfilled His promise made to Abraham that he would be "father of MANY nations," not just the father of the Nation of Israel. (Genesis 17:1-6) The challenge in understanding this intent among the Jews of the first century as well as Judaizers of today is in their continual choosing of the "covenant with death" resulting from worship of the law over the "Covenant of Promise" provided by God through the faith of Abraham. (Isaiah 28:11-15) Join me as we continue to experience The Law & Faith as God intended from the "Schoolmaster to Savior."
