Thought
for today – The Law cannot supersede the promise of faith because the law came
much later.
In verses
15-19, Paul presents 2 important realities of the covenant of faith that God
made with Abraham that invalidate the claims of the legalists. The second reason is that the covenant of law
was not given until 430 years after Abraham.
By then, the covenant of faith had long been made and ratified. Nothing that comes after that covenant can
supersede, change, annul it, so Paul can repeat that the just shall live by
faith (verse 11) with complete confidence that law has no part in our
justification.
That’s
what the Book says!
