Gen 21:10 Sarah said to Abraham, “Get rid of that slave woman and her son, for that woman’s son will never share in the inheritance with my son Isaac.”
Gal 4:30 But what does the Scripture say? “Cast out the bondwoman [Hagar] and her son [Ishmael], For never shall the son of the bondwoman be heir and share the inheritance with the son of the free woman.”
These verses tell a parallel story.
Sarah wanted a child, but, was unable to conceive. Hagar was a bond servant/slave of Abraham & Sarah. Sarah gives Hagar to Abraham (customary of the time) to have a baby. Abraham & Hagar have a son/Ishmael.
Later, God "miraculously" enables Sarah to conceive, Abraham & Sarah have a son/Isaac. Years later Sarah see Ishmael teasing/taunting Isaac. She has Abraham cast out Hagar/the slave & Ishmael. Ergo the two parallel verses in Gen & Gal.
If you place yourself under the Mosaic covenant, you are a slave to it's ordinances. If you put old Sinai covenant law above the New covenant law of Christ. Like Hagar the bond slave you have no place/part in Christ new covenant inheritance/salvation/eternal life promises.
The laws job was to expose sin & condemn the sinner to death, without mercy. Without the law, we wouldn't know we are sinners in need of a Savior.
A sinless Jesus/God willingly took our place/judgment. Became sin & endured every curse it demanded by law fulfilling its required sin price/DEATH.
Anyone that understand that there is a Creator God.
Understands they have sinned against His Sovereign rule. That they deserve Heavens invoked penalty (DEATH) & are in need rescued.
Understands God sent His Son to rescue humanity.
Places their faith/trust in God's offered sin atonement.
Found in the sinless Christ's death (sins required wage, Paid), burial (proof Jesus died), & resurrection (Father's receipt, sins required wage received & accepted).
See how: 1 Cor 15:1-4 - Rom 10:9-10.
You are now saved & will receive your promised inheritance. Every sin committed, Past-Present-Future: Completely forgiven, Completely removed, Full pardon. All Paid in Full by Jesus, He imputes His righteousness (A Gift) onto you. And you also are guaranteed (By Jesus/God) eternal life (Another Gift) Jesus give you.
Christ mediated New covenant believers are under Grace not law (Rom 6:14).
Titus 2:11 For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people.
(MY NOTE; Grace has a Name it's JESUS, not Moses)
Forget about the Covenant on Sinai it's OBSOLETE! Focus on Christ's New Better Eternal Covenant!
Time for praise, rejoicing & thanksgiving.
