Contrasting the Law with the Promise

It is crucial to have a correct understanding of the Mosaic Law. The New Testament presupposes a knowledge of the Old Testament. Old Testament events can illustrate and support biblical doctrine. The use of the Old Testament in analogy or illustration does not change or alter the historical even. The use of the Old Testament in analogy or illustration does not establish biblical doctrine. Those who promote the Mosaic Law oppose and persecute the children of the promise. Those who promote the Law have not part in the promise of God, Galatians 4:30. Those who promote the Law must be removed from the fellowship. True believers must appreciate their freedom in Christ.
