Why is the 'fullness of time' significant?

Answered in 1 source

The 'fullness of time' marks the appointed moment when God sent His Son, establishing a new covenant through grace (Galatians 4:4).

The concept of the 'fullness of time' is crucial in understanding God's redemptive plan. Paul writes in Galatians 4:4 that when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth His Son. This phrase indicates that history is under God's sovereign control and that events unfold according to His divine timeline. The incarnation of Christ signifies a new covenant, replacing the old covenant of law, thus ushering believers into a relationship characterized by grace rather than performance. This new administration of the gospel, fulfilling promises made throughout the Scripture, highlights God's faithfulness and the hope found in Christ.
