III. God’s Spirit and Word in the Time of the Promises
709
The Law, the sign of God’s promise and covenant, ought to have governed the
hearts and institutions of that people to whom Abraham’s faith gave birth.
“If you will obey my voice and keep my covenant, . . . you shall be to me
a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.”75 But after David, Israel
gave in to the temptation of becoming a kingdom like other nations. the
Kingdom, however, the object of the promise made to David,76 would be
the work of the Holy Spirit; it would belong to the poor according to the
Spirit.
