Paradise Promised - Covenants in the Scriptures
Teachers of Bible study and reading repeatedly stress three things crucial to the art of mining the Scriptures--context, context, and context. Among other things, context involves getting into the heads (the way of life, the thinking patterns, the culture) of the original author and intended recipients of the Scriptural text. Twenty-first century America is a far cry from the ancient Near East of Abraham's day, and for that reason one of the Bible's major unifying themes may elude us. That theme is "covenant." Unlike today, where the idea of covenant is relegated to a few cultural practices (such as marriage), covenant was a central component of society, both on individual and global levels. Therefore, when the early Hebrews read and heard of "covenant" in their Scriptures, they would have given it more than a passing nod (as we so often do). If you search for the term "covenant" throughout the Scriptures, you won't find all that many instances. Yet today we'll learn that this concept is one of the best ways to understand the Bible as one book--a single story, an over-arching meta-narrative. In fact, God's whole plan of fixing this broken world can rightly be summed up in that one word. Today's message may very well reorient your whole perspective of the Bible!

Faith or Observance of the Law
Paul continues his argument to show the Galatians that we are justified by faith, and not by works of the law (circumcision, ceremonial & moral law). He uses 3 arguments in this passage: the Galatians' own experience, Abraham's experience & the testimony of the Law. Faith rests or relies on Jesus for salvation, and receives the many blessings He has purchased for us.

Christian Marriage
In marriage, we have a Common Motivation that is self centered. However, when we submit to Christ and are controlled by His Spirit, we also offer Our Unique Contributions to the marriage. (Ephesians 5:22-33) Wives must Voluntary Submit. (verses 22-24, 33b) while Husbands must exhibit Costly Love. (verses 25-31, 33a)
