Devotional What’s All This about the “New Covenant”?
- Thread starter Walter And Debbie
- Start date
Another paper written by someone who holds to doctrines that are new when compared to the 1st Century church. Since the many additions, revisions, and added notes and punctuations, and false word substitutions; we have a new standard - which is the Old Testament.
So, someone wants to negate the gift of God and render the New Covenant a thing to look forward to?
No, I think not.

Yes, Walter, there is a covenant which a person can choose that was given in Sinai. However, that "everlasting covenant" will pass away when this world passes away. In the New Jerusalem comes, that covenant is no more. Revelation tells us that there will be no more temple for those who choose to remain in that covenant (which cannot save us) rather than the Law of Grace.
If I were to suggest that we should remain chained to the Old Testament Law of Moses, I would be seriously in error, because that is not showing love as Yeshua did. He came to free us from the "Law of Sin and Death." Under the New Covenant, we have God's spirit, and Yahweh's spirit teaches us how to walk in the Law of Grace.
We cannot be under both laws.
Ro 8:1–4 There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death. For God has done what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do. By sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh, in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.
Ga 2:15–21 We ourselves are Jews by birth and not Gentile sinners; yet we know that a person is not justified by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, so we also have believed in Christ Jesus, in order to be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because by works of the law no one will be justified. But if, in our endeavor to be justified in Christ, we too were found to be sinners, is Christ then a servant of sin? Certainly not! For if I rebuild what I tore down, I prove myself to be a transgressor. For through the law I died to the law, so that I might live to God. I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. I do not nullify the grace of God, for if righteousness were through the law, then Christ died for no purpose.
Gal 4:21-29 Tell me, you who desire to be under the law, do you not listen to the law? For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by a slave woman and one by a free woman. But the son of the slave was born according to the flesh, while the son of the free woman was born through promise. Now this may be interpreted allegorically: these women are two covenants. One is from Mount Sinai, bearing children for slavery; she is Hagar. Now Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia; she corresponds to the present Jerusalem, for she is in slavery with her children. But the Jerusalem above is free, and she is our mother.
For it is written, “Rejoice, O barren one who does not bear; break forth and cry aloud, you who are not in labor! For the children of the desolate one will be more than those of the one who has a husband.”
Now you, brothers, like Isaac, are children of promise. But just as at that time he who was born according to the flesh persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, so also it is now
Gal 5: 1-6 For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery. Look: I, Paul, say to you that if you accept circumcision, Christ will be of no advantage to you. I testify again to every man who accepts circumcision that he is obligated to keep the whole law. You are severed from Christ, you who would be justified by the law; you have fallen away from grace. For through the Spirit, by faith, we ourselves eagerly wait for the hope of righteousness. For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything, but only faith working through love.
Which law do you choose, brother?
