The Law was all about progressing on a successful and sustained, straight course toward one seed of Abraham bringing blessing to the entire world. This one seed is now indeed a blessing to all. The Law has done its job. It is still there to learn from, and we are foolish if we ignore it, but it has fulfilled its primary purpose and governed the lead-up to the Christ, who blesses all. Now, the Holy Spirit takes over, but we still adhere to Christ’s teachings; otherwise, we lose the Son, and we lose the Father too. Jesus Christ’s teachings are spirit and life. We need to be His disciples if we believe in Him. That means holding to His teachings. It unites us with Him. The Holy Spirit perpetuates this by teaching the glories of Jesus and His all-powerful name. We do so, waiting for the return of Christ Jesus, Lord of all the household of God. We learn His commands to obey them properly. This means the Father and the Son will lovingly come to make themselves known to us—a promise so wonderful, and really fulfilled in the lives of some of us.
