What is the Churches New Covenant?

[EricH]

The new covenant is the administrative covenant that describes the way people enter and are maintained in the eternal promise. It defines the terms of God's blessings.

'Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them'.

We are no longer under the law which mans' sinful nature could not keep. The new covenant allows for the forgiveness of sin through our Lord & saviour. Thank you God -only God is good!

I know you're grabbing for something, just not sure what! I do have a feeling it's something to do with us supposedly still being under Mosaic law. Can we not quit chasing this dog around the tree? I think Iryssa summed up things quite well but you refuse to acknowledge it.

Have I done something to you Ronald? I don't understand your combative and derisive tone towards me? You make ungrounded accusations and have at one point basically asked me to get lost, why is that? I am not under the Mosaic law as you put it, so why your assumption?

[Iryssa]

What Ronald is saying is that the question has already been answered. Look for yourself. I can't find any way to explain it better, so if someone else can't, then you need to be looking for it yourself. I gave you the verses in my first post.

Try Hebrews 9 and 10 respectivly.

The "new covenant" is established by the blood of the Lord Jesus, and is the fulfillment of God's promise to Abraham that He would make him into a great nation (Gen 12).

The New Testament church, with the Jews and the Gentiles alike in one Body is the fulfillment of God's promise to Abraham in Genesis 15:5, and 22:17 (cf. Heb. 11:12). The "stars in the heavens" indicate the Gentile believers who are the sons of Abraham by faith (Gal. 3:7, 29), and the "sand by the seashore" indicates the Jewish believers who are the sons of Abraham by inheritance.

The "new covenant" (Luke 22:20; 1 Cor. 11:25; 2 Cor. 3:6; Heb. 8:8, 13; 9:15; 12:24) is just a kind of "renewal" of the old, with the replacement of Christ's shed blood and the indwelling Spirit as the replacement of the sacrifices and the obedience to the Mosaic laws for righteousness. Under the new covenant one must have the shed blood of Christ to speak on his behalf to inherit the eternal promises of God afforded through Him.

Jesus said, "This is my blood of the New Testament" Matthew 26:28

The "blood" is the sacrifice; salvation is God's part of the covenant.

What is OUR part?
