Wednesday: The Duration of God’s Law

By

Does Paul’s statement about the law being added at Mount Sinai mean that it did not exist previously? If not, what was the difference before and after Mount Sinai? Read  Gen. 9:5-6 ;  Gen. 18:19 ;  Gen.

Tuesday: The Purpose of the Lawpriority

By

In  Galatians 3:19-29  Paul makes multiple references to “the law.” What law is Paul primarily referring to in this section of Galatians? Some, believing that the word  until  in verse 19  (ESV)  indicates that this law was only temporary, have thought the passage must refer to the ceremonial law, because the purpose of that law was fulfilled at the cross and thus came to an end.

While both the ceremonial and moral law were “added” at Sinai because of transgression, we will see by considering the following question that Paul appears to have the moral law primarily in mind

They certainly did not think themselves to be under a curse; if anything, they expected to be blessed for their obedience. Image © Standard Publishing from GoodSalt.com Yet, Paul is unequivocal: “For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse; for it is written, ‘ Cursed is everyone who does not continue in all things which are written in the book of the law, to do them ’ ”  (NKJV)

What Was Wrong With Sinai?

By

For these are the two covenants: the one from Mount Sinai which gives birth to bondage, which is Hagar— Galatians 4:24 NKJV  What did Paul mean by Mount Sinai? Many believe he was referring to the Ten Commandments. Was he? Paul speaks favorably of the Ten Commandments in Ephesians 6, and I doubt he would do so if he really thought they led to bondage. Paul also mentions Hagar.
