Quotes by O. Palmer Robertson (?)

“The new covenant radically alters the Sabbath perspective. The current believer does not first labor six days, looking hopefully towards rest. Instead, he begins the week by rejoicing in the rest already accomplished by the cosmic event of Christ's resurrection. Then he enters joyfully into his six days of labor, confident of success through the victory which Christ has already won.”
― O. Palmer Robertson, The Christ Of The Covenants

“A covenant is a bond in blood sovereignly administered. When God enters into a covenantal relationship with men, he sovereignly institutes a life-and-death bond. A covenant is a bond in blood, or a bond of life and death, sovereignly administered.”

“The limitations of man's perception might seem to lead to despair. But the very fact that God has an overarching plan that embraces every human experience points in the opposite direction. You, your daily moment-by-moment circumstances, your final end are all "from the hand of God" (Eccl. 2:24). In this confidence you may deal with the vanity, the frustrations, the transitoriness of daily life.”
