Bible Question:
Good day, I'm looking for a comprehensive list of Covenant Promises God has given us. Can anyone direct me to a website or book? What I really need is the Scripture passages containing the promises, not a teaching or article. Thanks if you can help. |
Bible Answer: Covenants (cont. #2) "MOSAIC COVENANT 1. The covenant between God and Israel, given through the Law of Moses (Exod - Deut) 2. It was a conditional covenant - it depended on man's obedience (Deut 28:1,15) 3. It had three main parts: a) Section 1 - The Commandments - proves that no man can keep the Law. All men are proven sinners, and therefore need a Saviour. b) Section 2 - The Tabernacle and Sacrifices - Pictures Christ as the Saviour, the only sacrifice which can pay the eternal penalty of sin. c) Section 3 - Social Code - Laws to preserve the nation Israel - law, hygiene, morals, taxation, etc. NEW COVENANT 1. The New Covenant guarantees eternal blessing under the Abrahamic Covenant (Jer 31:31-37, Heb 8:7-9). 2. It is unconditional - God will fulfill it. "I will" (Heb 8:10,12) rather than "If ye will" (Ex 19:5). 3. The New Covenant is said to be better than the Mosaic Covenant. (Heb 7:19; Rom 8:3,4). 4. Obedience is from a willing heart (Heb 8:10) whilst that for the Mosaic Law was fear (Heb 2:2; 12:25-27). 5. In the New Covenant all shall know God, from the least to the greatest (Heb 8:11). 6. The sins are forgotten under the New Covenant (Heb 8:12). 7. The New Covenant relies on the completed sacrifice of Jesus Christ (Heb 9:11-12)."
