1 | Is tithing a command for chriatians? | 2 Cor 9:7 | Wild Olive Shoot | 214820 | ||
Kiley, The covenant of grace was effective and administered long before the cross. To say it is between the cross and the crown is misstating what Paul penned in Galatians for one thing. Galatians 3:7-14: 7 Know then that it is those of faith who are the sons of Abraham. 8 And the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel beforehand to Abraham, saying, "In you shall all the nations be blessed." 9 So then, those who are of faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith. 10 For all who rely on works of the law are under a curse; for it is written, "Cursed be everyone who does not abide by all things written in the Book of the Law, and do them." 11 Now it is evident that no one is justified before God by the law, for "The righteous shall live by faith." 12 But the law is not of faith, rather "The one who does them shall live by them." 13 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us--for it is written, "Cursed is everyone who is hanged on a tree"-- 14 so that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham might come to the Gentiles, so that we might receive the promised Spirit through faith. It was administered differently, but still there. It was being "dispensed" in the OT as well. Stand in His grace, WOS |

Thank you, WOS, Yes I agree that Grace was administered during the Old Testament. The passover being one example and sacrifices another. These instances all were foreshadows of Christ. There are counless instances of God's grace to Moses and the Israelites during their wilderness journey. How about what David did, when he entered into the house of God, and ate the shewbread. This is very simply just not the name of the particular era of dispensation of that time. God gives grace to all, the just and the unjust. For Christ also died for sins once for all and there seems to be no limit of His mercy, therefore He is to be praised. Lord Bless, keliy |
