AMPLIFIED 2015 | Galatians 3:20 Now the mediator or go-between [in a transaction] is not [needed] for just one party; whereas God is only one [and was the only One giving the promise to Abraham, but the Law was a contract between two, God and Israel; its validity depended on both]. |
Subject: Contrasting the Covenants |
Bible Note: "In the covenant of works [Old Testament] there was no mediator: in that of grace [New Testament], there is the mediator, Christ Jesus... In the covenant of works, the condition of perfect obedience was required, to be performed by man himself, who had consented to it. In that of grace, the same condition is proposed, as to be, or as already performed by a mediator. And this substitution of the person, consists the principal and essential difference of the covenants." --Herman Witsius (1636-1708) |
