The Highway Forums General Discussion Theology Discussion Forum Covenantal Succession

Sure! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> There was a nationalistic aspect and a salvific aspect. As we both affirm, "not all Israel is of Israel".... yet ALL were of Israel in respect of being part of the nation of Israel. The breaking of the covenant was the breaking of the external relationship to which the person belonged. One who was part of the Covenant of Grace, (spiritual aspect) could never break the covenant. For that would mean that they could lose the salvation which was promised as part and parcel of that Covenant. One cannot be "in covenant" in the salvific sense and then break that covenant. This would be to deny the efficacy of the covenant and promise which God established with the "seed"; i.e., those in Christ.

In His Grace,
