Bibliology: 14 THE COVENANTS OF SCRIPTURE
A DISPENSATIONAL THEOLOGY
By Charles F Baker
This
was a temporary and conditional covenant. It is now called the Old Covenant
because it has been replaced by a new one. As pointed out in the introduction
to this chapter Israel was already a covenant people on redemption ground when
they entered into this agreement. The question naturally arises, Why would God
place a redeemed people under a legal covenant of works? We believe that Paul
answers that question which will be discussed later. Covenant Theology
apparently can find no place in its scheme for such a covenant, so it is forced
to call this a covenant of grace, in spite of the curse it pronounces upon all who
continue not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them,
and in spite of the fact it is said: “And the law is not of faith: but, The man
that doeth them shall live in them” (Galatians 3:10-12).
