What is this Gospel? Is it the law? How when it came after Abraham? Moses clearly states the law wasn't given to Abraham in Deut 3.Not true -- at all
and then the verse carefully avoided by so many that quote Gal 3:6.
Gal 3
7 Therefore, be sure that it is those who are of faith who are sons of Abraham. 8 The Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the Gospel beforehand to Abraham, saying, “All the nations will be blessed in you.”
Yes the lost are under the tutor. Christians aren't the lost. What I call religious Christians are though.Gal 1
6 I am amazed that you are so quickly deserting Him who called you by the grace of Christ, for a different gospel; 7 which is really not another; only there are some who are disturbing you and want to distort the Gospel of Christ. 8 But even if we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you a gospel contrary to what we have preached to you, he is to be accursed! 9 As we have said before, so I say again now, if any man is preaching to you a gospel contrary to what you received, he is to be accursed!
that's right folks - the Gospel preached to Abraham is the one we have with us today - because there is only ONE.
Not only that but all those who claim to be Christians today - can "be sure that it is those who are of faith who are sons of Abraham"
Gal 3
if a law had been given which was able to impart life, then righteousness would indeed have been based on law. 22 But the Scripture has shut up everyone under sin, so that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.
23 But before faith came, we were kept in custody under the law, being shut up to the faith which was later to be revealed. 24 Therefore the Law has become our tutor to lead us to Christ, so that we may be justified by faith. 25 But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor. 26 For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. 27 For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.
===========================================
So then all the lost remain under the tutor - under the condemnation of the law - until faith comes. But once faith comes - they are "baptized into Christ" and then the law no longer serves the role of condemning the sinner to hell - but rather for the saint that SAME law -- the Jer 31:31-33 LAW is "Written on the heart and mind" as even Heb 8:6-10 clearly states.
