John Nelson Darby emphasizes the profound connection between Paul's gospel and the doctrine of the Church, illustrating how both Jew and Gentile are united in Christ through sovereign grace. He explains that while the Jews had the promises, both groups were equally distant from God due to sin, and it is through Christ's death and resurrection that all can be reconciled. Darby highlights that Paul's ministry uniquely reveals the mystery of the Church, which was hidden until the coming of the Holy Spirit, and underscores the importance of understanding our identity in Christ as members of His body. He stresses that the gospel is not about human righteousness but about God's grace, which is available to all, regardless of their past.

John Gill expounds on Christ's role as the Surety of the Covenant, emphasizing that He voluntarily took on the obligations of humanity's sins, satisfying divine justice through His obedience and sacrifice.

Gill clarifies that Christ's engagement as Surety ensures that believers are freed from the debt of sin, as their sins are imputed to Him, and His righteousness is credited to them. This profound act of love and grace guarantees the salvation of the elect, as Christ is committed to bringing them safely to glory. Ultimately, Gill highlights the unbreakable bond of this covenant, rooted in God's faithfulness and Christ's perfect fulfillment of His promises.
