Episode notes
Bifocal Way To Read Promises
- Promises in Scripture operate like bifocal lenses: immediate historical fulfillment and a long-term Christ-centered fulfillment.
- Read Old Testament promises both in their original context and through the lens of Christ to grasp their fullest meaning.
Abraham's Promise Targets The Nations
- God's promise to Abraham aims at blessing the nations, not simple personal gain.
- The Abrahamic promise orders Scripture toward Christ and the expansion of God's household to all peoples.
Law As Loving Guardian
- The law functioned as a guardian given in love to expose our need and point us to Christ.
- Law and promise are not opposed; the law prepares for justification by faith fulfilled in Jesus.
