Bible Question: are the promises to the jewish people in the old testiment also for christians today? |
Bible Answer: Kindly recall that the Jews lived under a law and they had to what the law dictated to receive their promises. Nonetheless, the law has been abolished: “He brought an end to the commandments and demands found in Moses' Teachings so that he could take Jewish and non-Jewish people and create one new humanity in himself. So he made peace.” – Ephesians 2:15 (GW). Therefore whatever was under the law does not apply in this era of grace. The law was given by Moses but grace came by Jesus Christ (John 1:17). However, Jesus did not only give us the grace but the truth too. Whatever promises that they had was based on their obedience to the law – Deuteronomy 11:27 – 28. We do not have to work to qualify for His grace on the other hand except being born again. (Roman 3:24, 11:6) However, I more than agree that you need to qualify your question. Stay blessed, King T! |
