What does the Bible say about the priority of the Gospel over the Law?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that the Gospel is prior to the Law, as demonstrated in Galatians 3:17.

According to Galatians 3:17, the Gospel was confirmed before the Law came into effect. The Apostle Paul emphasizes this priority by highlighting that the covenant made with Abraham occurred 430 years before the Law was given. This indicates that the promises of God, represented by the Gospel, hold a superior status compared to the Law, which was 'added because of transgressions' until the coming of Christ. Thus, the Gospel's foundational promise defines the essence of God's covenant with His people, demonstrating the grace that precedes any demands of the Law.
