Book excerpt: "God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ" is the way that Paul concludes his letter to the Galatians. He taught that putting the Christian under the Law or human effort to attain God's approval is a negation, not just a relegation, of faith in Christ. He saw it as a matter of eternal consequences and was unapologetic in his rebuke, calling them foolish. We brag only on the Cross of Calvary. Today, as in Paul's day, there is a wave of Judaizers intent on foisting Judaism and the Law on Christianity. There's talk about temples, blood moons, shemitahs, eclipses, wars and the earthly Jerusalem. There is focus on self-righteousness to please God. This book aims to be reenactment enough of Paul's Spirit-led apoplexy to remind the Christian that he is the Israel of God; that the Promise to Abraham was in Christ, Christ the end of the Law. We stand justified by faith, Abraham the paradigm, natural Israel but a parable illustrating the failure of the Law and the futility of man's effort to attain God's righteousness.
