Genesis 26:
Ga 3:
The Law, mediated through Moses, was a temporary system that pointed to humanity’s need for a Savior. Jesus, the singular offspring of Abraham, is the fulfillment of God’s promises and the true mediator between God and humanity. Good news: because Jesus is God, his mediation is perfect, eternal, and entirely sufficient. This is the heart of the gospel: salvation by grace through faith in Christ, grounded in the oneness and faithfulness of God.
This singular offspring pointed to Christ.4 I will make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky, and I will give them all these lands, and through your offspring all nations of the earth will be blessed.
Ga 3:
Paul identified this special offspring as Christ.16 Now the promises were made to Abraham and to his offspring. It does not say, “And to offsprings,” referring to many, but referring to one, “And to your offspring,” who is Christ.
Why not skip the law?19 Why then the law?
Moses delivered the law and served as an intermediary between God and the Israelites. This was only a type. Jesus was the true type.It was added because of transgressions, until the offspring should come to whom the promise had been made, and it was put in place through angels by an intermediary.
Like Moses, Jesus was sent by God as a human to mediate between men and God.20 Now an intermediary implies more than one,
Unlike Moses, Jesus is also God. Jesus is our heavenly eternal mediator. With Jesus mediates for us, we can't lose because he is God.but God is one.
