Excursus: Human Distinctions in the New Creation - Foundational Considerations (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Paul's assertion that ends chapter 3 brings his argument to a climactic and definitive focal point. For it answers the Judaizing issue by denying its fundamental premise, namely a distinction between Jew and Gentile among Messiah's people. Paul insisted that this distinction no longer exists because the Christ event has inaugurated a new human race having its substance in the resurrected Messiah Himself. But this means that all human distinctions have been transformed in Him, and so no longer ex
The Israelite Covenant as Israel's Pedagogue (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Paul's answer to the question, "Why the Law?" was that the Law served God's promises to Abraham. It did so first by formally ratifying the covenant relationship with Abraham's descendants. But it also advanced the promises, specifically by functioning as Israel's pedagogue. As such, the Law of Moses instructed, directed, and preserved God's covenant "son" with a view to the day of maturity when Israel would receive the promised inheritance.
The Role of the Israelite Covenant in the Salvation History (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Paul insisted that the Israelite covenant (Law of Moses) neither altered nor abrogated God's covenant promises to Abraham. The promises passed through the Law and found their fulfillment in the Messiah and His work.

Paul's answer was that the Law served the promises, but perhaps
The Historical Relation Between the Abrahamic and Israelite Covenants (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Paul recognized that Abraham and God's covenant with him are key to understanding the messianic work and the new household God is building on Him. But the Israelite covenant (the Law of Moses) was instituted in between Abraham and the fulfillment of God's promises to him in the Messiah, Abraham's unique "seed." This interposing of the Law of Moses raises the question of its impact on the Abrahamic covenant and its promises, and Paul addressed that question in general terms before addressing the
The Law of Moses and Israel's Predicament (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Paul introduced Abraham into his argument because he, and God's promises to him, are the criteria for defining the members of God's restored covenant household and the relationship between them. In a word, the Abrahamic family are now identified by their union with the Messiah, Abraham's promised son. Paul then further developed this truth by turning his attention to the Law of Moses and its role in God's purposes, firstly explaining the predicament it caused for the Abrahamic people, the implic
