Psalm 119 And The New Covenant

by David H.J. Gay

How can new-covenant theology be right - when the psalmist spoke so highly about the law? How can you continue to assert that believers are no longer under the law of Moses, when spiritual men - in the Bible! - wrote and spoke so glowingly about the law? Psalm 119:97 springs to mind: 'Oh, how I love your law! I meditate on it all day long'. Here we meet with a spiritual man telling us he loves the law, telling us he continually meditates upon it, and yet you say the law is fulfilled and therefore abolished in Christ! How can this be? Such was the friendly enquiry which David Gay faced after publishing his book: Christ is All: No Sanctification By The Law. Stirred by the question, he produced this slim volume to show that Psalm 119, and a host of similar passages, far from damaging the original claim, actually enforce it. As always: Christ is all!

This book was so informational and really explored new covenant theology in a way that I haven’t read before. I do think his approach was, at times, a bit strong headed and harsh towards those of covenant theology. I also thoroughly enjoyed the excerpts from Spurgeon and Calvin!
