The
Relation of the New to the Other Covenants.
The unconditional covenants are designated as the covenants of promise. The Abrahamic
seems to be basic to all of the others. The promise of the land in the
Abrahamic is developed in the Palestinian; the promise of redemption, national
and universal, in the Abrahamic is the subject especially of the New, and the
promise of a great nation in the Abrahamic is guaranteed in the Davidic. The
New stands in contrast to the Old. It should be noted that when Paul states
that the Law was added (Galatians 3:19),
he did not mean that it became a part of the Abrahamic Covenant, for he had
just declared that no one had the right to add anything to a covenant after it
had been confirmed. The Law came in along side of the Promise as a temporary
arrangement to be replaced by the covenant made in Christ’s blood.
