Within the covenant structure of the Old Testament the law was an expression of the election and salvation of Israel, not a precondition for it. As a response to God’s acts of deliverance and commitment to provide for His people, obedience to His commands became an outward expression of trust in His promises. Keeping the covenant stipulations is the way God’s people demonstrate that they belong to Him, not a way to become His people.

Dear Bible Note Subscribers,
 
It would be helpful to me if just one or two of you would respond to this test e-mail and let me know whether you received my latest Bible Note entitled, "As in the Days of Noah (Conclusion)" -- sent on Sept. 12th.  I am a subscriber to my own list, but did not get the e-mail through the list.
 
Thank you
 
Yours In Christ,
Martin Overfield
