Third, the Sinai covenant points to our need of grace. In Galatians 3, Paul argued strongly that the law was not intended to disannul or cancel the promise of grace.11 He began by asserting that the gospel of Abraham was a gospel of salvation by grace through faith in Jesus.12 But he then went on to prove that the gospel of Moses was also a gospel of salvation by grace through faith in Jesus: “And this I say, that the law, which was four hundred and thirty years later, cannot annul the covenant that was confirmed before by God in Christ, that it should make the promise of no effect.”
