Always amazed when it takes man several hours to explain what God explained in a few sentences. Perhaps man is attempting to explain what they think God really meant because they simply do not believe what He did say. Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified. Galatians 2:16 - KJV From the above one can easily see we (the Body of Christ, the Church) are justified by the Faith of Christ, not our own personal faith as with the OT Saint, but His Faith. This is the Faith that came after the Law. (Gal 3:23). Obeying the Law saved them from hell, but did not save them to Heaven, see Luke 16. No one could/can go to the Throne of God without being washed by the blood, and the blood of Christ could not be physically spread before it was physically shed!

Thank you brother that cleared up much confusion i had about Israel's covenant relationship they had with God.
