Bible Question:
Dear SLSAltsman, I asked a question a while back, "Covenant to Abraham revoked?" what do you think? Is Genesis 17:7, the 'everlasting covenant' to Abraham and his descendents nullified by the New Covenant? Did God renege the Old Covenant and revoke from Israel salvation from Hell? If He did take away this 'privilege' of salvation by faith (Abraham's descendents), when was it taken away? Please give specific Bible direction. In Christ Jesus. charis |
Bible Answer: Charis- Check out Matthew 10. Jesus sends out his disciples to the Jews first. Jesus says, "Do not go among the Gentiles or enter any town of the Samaritans. Go rather to the lost sheep of Israel. As you go, preach this message: 'The kingdom of heaven is near..' (Verses 5-7) Then Jesus later instructs his disciples in this chapter..'If anyone will not welcome you or listen to your words, shake the dust off your feet when you leave that home or town. I tell you the truth, it will be more bearable for Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of judgement than for that town...' (Verse 14-15) Ultimately, what this means for us, is that woe unto you if you have heard the message of the Gospel and rejected it. It will be worse for those persons than the two cities that fell under God's judgement. Regarding the old covenant; Jesus came to fulfill the old covenant. Check out Hebrew 8:8-12 for a comparison of between the old and new covenant. Jesus' new covenant can be read in Matthew 26:28 "This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins." Or Luke 22:20 "In the same way, after the supper he took the cup saying, 'This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.'" Check out 1 Corinthians 11:25 also. The new covenant was Jesus' sacrifice on the cross for our sins and our forgiveness. But you must believe and confess..Romans 10:9 |
