The Faith

From: Bible Witness and Review: Volume 1

Galatians 3:23

Listen to This Article

Gal. 3:23²³But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed. (Galatians 3:23).-" Faith" is not here put for its object, I think, but is contrasted with the law when fully declared to be the sole means of justification, as it was after the cross of Jesus, when all pretension to stand before God on the law was manifestly at an end. Faith was always that whereby saints were justified really, even while the Levitical system had its place, and, if I may so say, obscured the faith which wais within: then all that was outward fell, and the faith stood revealed.
