From The Schoolmaster To The Savior: "GOD'S PURPOSE THROUGH THE DISPENSATIONS"

FROM THE SCHOOLMASTER TO THE SAVIOR

"GOD'S PURPOSE THROUGH THE DISPENSATIONS"

"Whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law....so that all the world may become guilty before God, for by the law is the knowledge of sin...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 where there is no law there is no transgression….until the law was given sin was in the world, but is not imputed. Nevertheless death reigned between Adam to Moses over those who had not sinned in the way Adam did….Is the law sin then? Certainly not! I would not have known sin except through the law. For I would not have known lust until the law said, "You shall not lust"….For apart from the law sin was dead. I was alive once without the law, but when the law came, sin revived and I died. Sin, that it might appear sin, was producing death in me through what is good, so that sin through the commandment might become exceedingly sinful." (A summary of the law as illustrated by The Apostle Paul )

To this point in our study, the Apostle Paul has beautifully stretched out the map of God's Plan of Redemption through the ages, perfectly illustrating each step of His Divine Purpose through the Dispensations, culminating in The Apostle Paul, assuming the metaphorical posture as "every man," uses himself to illustrate man's trek through these Dispensations, leading to there fulfillment in Christ.
