01/19/2024: Galatians 3:23-25 – God used the Law to keep His people till faith in Christ would come.

Thought for today – God used the Law to keep His people till faith in Christ would come.

God gave Moses the Law as a means of guarding His people until Jesus the Messiah would come.  Observing the Law kept Israel ever mindful of the promises of God and their obligation to Him.  It served as a custodian, a schoolmaster, and a guardian to keep them until faith in Jesus Christ would come and fulfill the promises of faith.  Now that Christ has come and completed the prophecies of the Scripture, the gospel of salvation by faith has been revealed, and the Law in no longer our master or guardian.

That’s what the Book says!
