Subject: Old and New Covenants Compared |
Bible Note: "It now remains, that we compare the Subservient Covenant (which is the Old Testament) with the Covenant of Grace. But they differ. "First, in the quality and condition of the Author; For God in the Subservient Covenant is considered as reproving sin, and as one approving only righteousness: but here now He is otherwise considered in the Covenant of Grace, as one remitting sin and repairing a new righteousness in man. "Secondly, they differ in the stipulation, for this is the stipulation (or condition) of the Old Covenant,Do this and live; of the new Believe, and thou shall not come into judgment. "Thirdly, they differ in their antiquity; for the Subservient Covenant was added to the Promises of Grace, which preceded. "Fourthly, they differ in the manner of discovering sin, for the Subservient Covenant does not discover sin primarily, but by experience of man’s weakness in the keeping of that Covenant; but the Covenant of Grace does it primarily; for it does teach expressly that man is a sinner and that his happiness is placed in remission of sins. "Fifthly, the Subservient Covenant does restrain from sins, but by coaction, the Covenant of Grace, by a spontaneous and voluntary inclination of the minds of men. "Sixthly, in that either does lead unto Christ: the Covenant of Grace, does this directly; the Subservient Covenant, indirectly. "Seventhly, whereas both are a badge of the Church: the Old Covenant is a carnal our outward badge only of the Jewish Church; but the Covenant of Grace is a spiritual badge of the Church of the Jews, and also of the Gentiles. "Eighthly, whereas either Covenant was made by a Mediator; the Mediator of the Old Covenant is the man Moses, but the Mediator of the New, is not a mere man, but Christ, the God-man. "Ninthly, in the Old Covenant the spirit of bondage is given; but in the Covenant of Grace the Spirit of Adoption. "Tenthly, the Old Covenant was the means unto, the end; but the Covenant of Grace is the end itself. "Eleventh, the Old Covenant did terrify the consciences; the new does comfort them. "Twelthly, the object of the Old Covenant is a man dead in sin; of the new, a conscience terrified for sin. "Thirteenthly, the Old Covenant did indeed declare the manner how to worship God in, but performed nothing; the New Covenant does discover and perform. "Fourteenthly, the Old Covenant is a hand-writing against us, but the new is a burden cast off. "Fifteenthly, the Old Covenant is from Mount Sinai trembling; the new from Zion which is heavenly delectable, lovely. "Sixteenthly, the Old Covenant does shut out the Gentiles: but the new receives them in "And last of all, by some this difference is further added; that whereas in either life is promised, in that it seems that life is only promised to be lived in the land of Canaan; but in this is promised a life to be lived in heaven." --John Cameron (1724-1799) |
