MSITN VITAL DOCTRINES – SALVATION

“And this I say, that the law, which was four hundred and thirty years later, cannot annul the covenant that was confirmed before by God in Christ, that it should make the promise of no effect. For if the inheritance is of the law, it is no longer of promise; but God gave it to Abraham by promise.”

Galatians 3:17-18

THE LAW CANNOT ANNUL THE COVENANT

1. The LORD gave a Covenant to Abraham.

2. The Law came four hundred and thirty years late.

3. The Covenant given to Abraham long before the Law came in.

FEATURES OF THE COVENANT THAT ARE IMPORTANT TO NOTE

1. God made a number of promises to Abraham.

a. That all nations would be blessed through his Seed.
b. That Seed was none other than a reference to the Lord Jesus Christ.

2. The coming of the Lord Jesus Christ.

a. It confirmed God’s covenant.

b. The Law cannot annul the promise God had given.

3. The promise of an inheritance.

a. God promised the land of Canaan as an inheritance to Abraham’s descendants.

b. But the word “inheritance” is far greater than just the physical land.

c. In the Lord Jesus Christ, all believers have an inheritance promised to them.

d. The Law cannot annul the promise of an inheritance by the LORD.

4. If the inheritance came by the law:

a. Then it is not of promise.

b. But the covenant God gave to Abraham was made by a promise.

5. Significant texts about the “inheritance” God has promised all believers?

a. In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestined according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will (Ephesians 1:11).
b. To an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled and that does not fade away, reserved in heaven for you (1 Peter 1:4).

6. Our Inheritance in essence:

a. It is spiritual.
b. It is eternal.
c. It is heavenly (as opposed to an earthly inheritance).
d. It is incorruptible (as opposed to all earthly inheritance that fades away).

7. Some features to rejoice the heart:

a. Our being called “children of God”.
b. Our being given the Holy Spirit to indwell us.
c. The many precious promises of God given to His children who love Him.

我夜间的歌曲:重要教义 – 救恩
经文:加拉太书 3

“我是这么说:神预先所立的约,不能被那四百三十年以后的律法废掉,叫应许归于虚空。因为承受产业,若本乎律法,就不本乎应许;但神是凭着应许,把产业赐给亚伯拉罕。”

《加拉太书 3:17-18》

律法不能废掉所立的约

1. 上帝与亚伯拉罕立约

2. 律法晚了四百三十年

3. 早在律法出现之前,与亚伯拉罕的约就先立了

需要注意的约的特点

1. 上帝对亚伯拉罕做了一些应许

a. 万国都必因他的后裔得福
b. 后裔指的就是主耶稣基督

2. 主耶稣基督的降临

a. 它证实了上帝的约
b. 律法不能废弃上帝所赐的应许

3. 承受产业的应许

a. 上帝应许迦南地为亚伯拉罕子孙的产业
b. 但是“产业”这词远超过实体土地

d. 律法不能废掉上帝所应许的产业

4. 若承受产业来自律法:

a. 它就不本乎应许
b. 但是上帝与亚伯拉罕所立的约是凭着应许的

5. 关于上帝应许所有信徒的“产业”的重要经文

a. 我们也在他里面得了基业,这原是那位随己意行做万事的,照着他旨意所预定的《以弗所书 1: 11》
b. 可以得着不能朽坏、不能玷污、不能衰残、为你们存留在天上的基业《彼得前书 1: 4》

6. 我们的产业的本质:

a. 它是属灵的
b. 它是永恒的
c. 它是天上的(与地上的产业相对)
d. 它是不朽的(与所有能衰残的地上的产业相对)

7. 使心里欢喜的特点:
