Subject: What are the provisions of the NC? |
Bible Note: Steve, I agree, the New Covenant is with His Church, which is made up of born-again Jews and Gentiles. But where did the gospel first go? To the Jew, who (as a nation) rejected it. So it was then taken to the Gentiles. And the main provisions for this New Covenant are found in Hebrews 10:16-18 - God writes His laws (plural) not Law (Mosaic) upon our hearts and minds. And He remembers on sins no more. Also, reitterated in Hebrews 8:12-13 - He is merciful to our sins, and He remembers them no more. Verse 13 says that the first covenant (Mosaic) has been made obsolete. We are no longer under that Old Covenant. And, when Christ returns, the nation of Israel will recognize Him as Messiah and the New Covenant will then be brought to fruition. If you are resting in this Covenant, Steve, then your standing before God should not be a struggle. In Christ, Bill Mc |
