MSITN VITAL DOCTRINES – SALVATION

“What purpose then does the law serve? It was added because of transgressions, till the Seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was appointed through angels by the hand of a mediator. Now a mediator does not mediate for one only, but God is one.”

Galatians 3:19-20

THE PURPOSE OF THE LAW

1. The Law has severe limitations.

a. It cannot give salvation/ justification.
b. It cannot make a person righteous before God.

2. What was the purpose of the Law?

a. The Law was added for good reason.
b. Transgressions abound and thus the Law served to curb transgressions.
c. But the Law cannot do away with sin because it has no power to do so.

3. Was the Law meant to last forever?

a. No!
b. It would last till the Seed, the Messiah comes.
c. He comes to fulfil God’s promise.

THE WORK OF A MEDIATOR

1. A familiar Jewish understanding of how the law was given to Moses.

a. God gave the Law to Moses.
b. Angels were the mediators, for they delivered the Law that God personally wrote.

2. What happens when the Messiah (The Seed) comes?

a. The angels are no longer the mediators.
b. The Lord Jesus is Himself the Mediator.
c. He is both Mediator and Saviour.
d. He is Himself God!
e. We do not need anyone to function as a Mediator between us and our Saviour-God.

我夜间的歌曲：重要教义 – 救恩
经文：加拉太书 3

“这样说来，律法是为什么有的呢？原是为过犯添上的，等候那蒙应许的子孙来到；并且是借天使、经中保之手设立的。但中保本不是为一面做的，神却是一位。”

《加拉太书 3：19-20》

律法的用意

1. 律法有着严重的限制

a. 它不能提供救恩或使人称义

b. 它不能使人在上帝面前称义

2. 为什么有律法？

a. 设立律法是有充分理由的

b. 违法行为比比皆是，因此律法有助于遏制违法行为

c. 但律法不能消除罪恶，因为它没有能力这样做

3. 律法是要永远存在的吗？

a. 不！

b. 它会持续到祂子孙，弥赛亚降临

c. 祂来实现上帝的应许

中保的工作

1. 犹太人对于律法赋予摩西的理解

a. 上帝将律法赐给摩西

b. 天使是中保，因为他们传达了上帝亲自制定的律法

2. 当弥赛亚（祂子孙）降临时，会发生什么事？

a. 天使不再是中保

b. 主耶稣自己就是中保

c. 祂既是中保又是救主

d. 祂自己就是上帝！

e. 我们不需要任何人在我们与救主上帝之间充当中保
