Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire How does the New Covenant differ from the Old Covenant…?

Jeremiah’s Old Covenant prophecy announced God’s promise of a New Covenant in Jeremiah 31:31–34. What’s “New” about the New Covenant…? What exactly makes it new?

Rather than trying to re-create the wheel, a cursory answer.

Thank You for that geedubya.

That link references Heb 8:13. I can make use of that with someone who thinks the law still applies.

Indeed.

Thank you, antlers, for this thread.
I don't think this is high jacking your thread. Here is more support for Rock Chuck. I will type out the most severe quote.

"You have been severed from Christ, you who are seeking to be justified by Law; you have fallen from Grace." Galatians 5:4

Romans6:14-15; 7:4; 10:4
Galatians 3:23-24; 5:4, 18

Thanks geedubya for that link.

The "New" one has less contents for the same price. But it's "Improved."

Thank you GW!

The sacrifice.

Not sure about no Covenant,


I still keep my head covered in public though.

It's works vs faith. The old required an unending series of sacrifices. The new has the ultimate sacrfice, signed and delivered. It only requires the faith to accept it.

Ya don’t have to haul 2 turtles to the Tabernacle anymore.

The Law was our tutor to bring us to Christ.

Really sad that many do not know the high points of Mosaic Law and our covenant of Grace.

Galatians 6: 14

'For I tell you truly, until heaven and earth pass away, not a single jot, not a stroke of a pen, will disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished...."

An older fable and a newer fable. Religions are meant to control the masses.

Fulfilling is not disappearing. The law had Jesus all the way though it. His coming and his death and resurrection fulfilled the reason for all the sacrifices. Jesus condensed it all into 2 rules: Love the Lord with all your heart, and love you neighbor as yourself. Those 2 rules are the law in it final form.
Also, the law has never applied to gentiles. It was strictly for Jews. That's made clear in the NT.

It boils down to, you can't be good enough, or do enough good things, or abide by any laws, enough to please God and get into Heaven on your own. The ancient Jews had hundreds of laws, and most people have trouble keeping the Ten Commandments, much less hundreds. The Old Covenant was not eliminated, and Jesus spoke of many of the truths written in them, but He became the conduit to God and nothing else was needed. Jesus came to fulfill the prophesy and to be the final sacrifice.
