Promise not Law
from New Road Church · host Paul Forrest
The sermon centers on the enduring supremacy of God's promise to Abraham over the Mosaic Law, emphasizing that salvation has always been by faith, not by works. It argues that the Law, given 430 years after the Abrahamic covenant, was not a replacement but a temporary guardian designed to reveal sin and lead people to Christ, fulfilling its purpose until the promised Offspring—Jesus—arrived. The sermon affirms that the Law, though good and holy, could never grant life or justification, and that the Ten Commandments are not a separate moral code but an integral part of the unified Mosaic covenant, now fulfilled and superseded by the new covenant in Christ. Through the Spirit, believers are united with Christ, becoming sons and daughters of God and joint heirs with Him, transcending all earthly divisions in a new spiritual reality where identity and inheritance are rooted not in law but in divine promise.
