Mosaic Law is Fulfilled


Mosaic Law is Fulfilled

Excerpt


The final question is, Do we, then, nullify the Law by this faith? Paul responded in his characteristic expletive, Not at all! (mÄ“ genoito, “Let it not be”; cf. comments on Romans 3:4) and then explained, Rather, we uphold the Law.The purpose of the Mosaic Law is fulfilled and its place in God’s total plan is confirmed when it leads an individual to faith in Jesus Christ (cf. Romans 3:20; Gal. 3:23-25). Paul repeatedly affirmed that faith, not works of the Law, is the way of salvation. He wrote the word “faith” eight times in Romans 3:22-31! (See vv. Romans 3:22Romans 3:25-28Romans 3:30 [twice], and Romans 3:31.)

Sledges were fitted with flint teeth to dehusk the grain more quickly. Other workers would turn the grain over so that it would be evenly threshed by the sledge.
