And so a covenant theologian is going to tell someone that quotes Genesis chapter 12, verse 3, I will bless those that bless thee and curse those that curse thee.
A Christian, a covenant theologian is going to quote to you Galatians chapter 3, which is a book of the New Testament in which the apostle Paul is writing to the church in Galatia, and he tells them that if you have faith in Jesus, you are God's
children.
You're actually, he says, you are the children of Abraham.
It says it twice.
So by faith, we're adopted into God's covenant people.
And then at the very end of Galatians chapter 3, not only does it tell us that we are the children of Abraham, those who believe, but also we are the heirs of the promises.
And so, in fact, in Galatians 3, verse 7, the Apostle Paul very clearly explains that that promise is not for the Jews.
It never was for the Jews.
The picture was—or rather, the mission of God was much bigger than that.
And that's clear in the Old Testament, isn't it?
Right.
It's Old Testament, and God is preaching—
through the rites and rituals of the Old Testament, the gospel, before Jesus came, all right?
So that they could understand concepts like grace and judgment and forgiveness and repentance, because it was never about the sacrifice of bulls and goats.
It's not as though that bloodshed ever took away sin.
It gave them a picture of the bloodshed that Jesus Christ would one day give for us so that they could believe in what we call types and shadows, putting their faith in the rituals that would one day be lived out in reality through the life and ministry of Jesus Christ.
And the greatest, you know, the great mystery of the gospel, Paul calls it, is that Jesus Christ
was not just a Jewish Messiah.
He was a global Messiah.
