Bible Question: What does the new testament(new covenant) means in 1 cor. 12:25 |
Bible Answer: Greetings Godfearinglady We read in 1 Cor. 11:25 "...this is the cup of the new testament (new covenant) in my blood: this do ye as oft as you drink it in rememberance of me" In Hebrews 8 and 9 we have detail and comparison between the old covenant and the new covenant. Under the old covenant God dealt with people in various ways which always pointed forward to Christ who would fulfil all the types and shadows of himself seen in the old covenant. The old covenant was temporary, whereas, the new covenant is eternal. In Hebrews 9 we read about the tabernacle of old and how the priests entered with the blood of animal sacrifices on behalf of the people. The problem was that these sacrifices had to be repeated since they pointed forward to Christ. "But Christ being come a high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained redemption for us" Heb. 9:11-12 In other words the new covenant is a spiritual covenant, Christ has entered into the holiest of all with his own precious blood, a once and for all sacrifice for us. Under the old covenant, sins were only covered for a season. Under the new covenant in Christ our sins are forgiven forever. Under the old covenant the priest was the mediator Under the new coveant Christ is the mediator Heb. 9:15 In 1 Cor.11:25 the blood of the new covenant is referring to the blood of Christ, who established the new covenant with his blood fulfilling the promise of God "This is the covenant that I will make for them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my law into the hearts and in their minds will I write them; and their sins and iniquities will I remember no more Heb. 10: 16-17 Thus, those who have been redeemed by his precious blood "enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus a new and living way"Heb.10:19-20 Peace in his Name Robert |
