Republication, Part 3: Paul Teaches It in Galatians 3

I would argue that Republication is taught by Paul in Galatians 3. The Judaizers viewed the Mosaic covenant as an addition to the Abrahamic covenant showing, as claimed, that the blessing must be received by obeying the Mosaic law. But Paul corrects them by explaining that the Abrahamic covenant is fundamentally a gracious, promissory covenant in which the blessing is received by faith. Although the Mosaic covenant (���the law���) came 430 years after the promise, it did not annul the prior Abrahamic covenant of promise ratified by God���s self-maledictory oath. Why then the law? It was ���added��� (top layer) until the Seed should come, who would be born under it to bear its curse and fulfill its demands in our place, thereby securing the blessing.
