Subject: Contrasting the Old and New |
Bible Note: "The saving efficacy of the New Covenant is based on what Christ did for us and has nothing to do with what we do for Christ. It secures all the blessings promised by it through the work of Christ. Christ earns the blessings of the covenant by obeying (Rom. 5:19; Phil. 2:8; Heb. 10:5-10). He fully satisfies all the demands of God’s law. He also exhausts damnation for us on the cross (John 19:30; Rom. 3:25-26; Heb. 1:3). He earns the gift of the Spirit for us as well (Acts 2:33). And He confers upon believers in the gospel all these benefits through faith alone (Eph. 2:8-9). The New Covenant is a gracious covenant, the covenant of grace. "The difference between the Old and New Covenant is not one of an administration of the same covenant (e.g., from stage one to stage two or from a legal administration to a gracious administration of the same covenant). The difference between the two is one of kind or essence. The Old Covenant demands obedience to secure its temporal blessings or promises; the New Covenant confers its blessings or promises, which are eternal. The promised blessings of the Old Covenant depended on the obedience of its citizens; the promised blessings of the New Covenant depend upon the obedience of Christ. The Old Covenant is conditional for its citizens; the New Covenant is unconditional for its citizens. The Old Covenant is temporal; the New Covenant is eternal." --Richard C.
