God’s will has been revealed to us through the history of his working in the world. This has been done in human story so that we might see and understand.
What matters is to stand before the grave and say, no matter the circumstances, “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.”
The Old Covenant is a test that, like a carpenter’s plumbline, measures us on a pass/fail basis. By contrast, the New Testament is based on grace and giving.
