Living Under The New Covenant

• Hebrews 86-13
• 6 But now He has obtained a more excellent
  ministry, inasmuch as He is also Mediator of a
  better covenant, which was established on better
  promises. 7 For if that first covenant had been
  faultless, then no place would have been sought
  for a second.

4
Living Under The New Covenant

• Hebrews 86-13
• 8 Because finding fault with them, He says
  "Behold, the days are coming, says the LORD, when
  I will make a new covenant with the house of
  Israel and with the house of Judah 9 not
  according to the covenant that I made with their
  fathers in the day when I took them by the hand
  to lead them out of the land of Egypt because
  they did not continue in My covenant, and I
  disregarded them, says the LORD.

5
Living Under The New Covenant

• Hebrews 86-13
• 12 For I will be merciful to their
  unrighteousness, and their sins and their lawless
  deeds I will remember no more. 13 In that He
  says, "A new covenant," He has made the first
  obsolete. Now what is becoming obsolete and
  growing old is ready to vanish away.

6
The First Covenant With Israel

• Exodus 3427
• Then the LORD said to Moses, "Write these words,
  for according to the tenor of these words I have
  made a covenant with you and with Israel."

7
The First Covenant With Israel

• Romans 31-2
• What advantage then has the Jew, or what is the
  profit of circumcision? 2 Much in every way!
  Chiefly because to them were committed the
  oracles of God.

8
The First Covenant With Israel

• Ephesians 211-12
• Therefore remember that you, once Gentiles in the
  flesh who are called Uncircumcision by what is
  called the Circumcision made in the flesh by
  hands 12 that at that time you were without
  Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of
  Israel and strangers from the covenants of
  promise, having no hope and without God in the
  world.

9
The First Covenant With Israel

• Romans 214
• for when Gentiles, who do not have the law, by
  nature do the things in the law, these, although
  not having the law, are a law to themselves,

10
The First Covenant With Israel

• Acts 155
• But some of the sect of the Pharisees who
  believed rose up, saying, "It is necessary to
  circumcise them, and to command them to keep the
  law of Moses."

11
The Annulling Of The First Covenant

• Hebrews 813
• In that He says, "A new covenant," He has made
  the first obsolete. Now what is becoming obsolete
  and growing old is ready to vanish away.

12
The Annulling Of The First Covenant

  necessity there is also a change of the law.

13
The Annulling Of The First Covenant

  will, O God." He takes away the first that He may
  establish the second.

14

• 15 And for this reason He is the Mediator of the
  new covenant, by means of death, for the
  redemption of the transgressions under the first
  covenant, that those who are called may receive
  the promise of the eternal inheritance. 16 For
  where there is a testament, there must also of
  necessity be the death of the testator. 17 For a
  testament is in force after men are dead, since
  it has no power at all while the testator lives.

15
The Annulling Of The First Covenant

• Colossians 214
• having wiped out the handwriting of requirements
  that was against us, which was contrary to us.
  And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed
  it to the cross.

Trying To Be Bound Under Two Covenants

• Romans 71-4
• Or do you not know, brethren (for I speak to
  those who know the law), that the law has
  dominion over a man as long as he lives? 2 For
  the woman who has a husband is bound by the law
  to her husband as long as he lives. But if the
  husband dies, she is released from the law of her
  husband. 3 So then if, while her husband lives,
  she marries another man, she will be called an
  adulteress but if her husband dies, she is free
  from that law, so that she is no adulteress,
  though she has married another man.

18

• Romans 71-4
• 4 Therefore, my brethren, you also have become
  dead to the law through the body of Christ, that
  you may be married to another to Him who was
  raised from the dead, that we should bear fruit
  to God.

19
Trying To Be Bound Under Two Covenants

• Romans 77
• What shall we say then? Is the law sin? Certainly
  not! On the contrary, I would not have known sin
  except through the law. For I would not have
  known covetousness unless the law had said, "You
  shall not covet.

  a tutor.

22
Trying To Be Bound Under Two Covenants

• Galatians 421-26
• Tell me, you who desire to be under the law, do
  you not hear the law? 22 For it is written that
  Abraham had two sons the one by a bondwoman, the
  other by a freewoman. 23 But he who was of the
  bondwoman was born according to the flesh, and he
  of the freewoman through promise,

23
Trying To Be Bound Under Two Covenants

• Galatians 421-26
• 24 which things are symbolic. For these are the
  two covenants the one from Mount Sinai which
  gives birth to bondage, which is Hagar 25 for
  this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia, and
  corresponds to Jerusalem which now is, and is in
  bondage with her children 26 but the Jerusalem
  above is free, which is the mother of us all.

24
Trying To Be Bound Under Two Covenants

• Galatians 430-31
• 30 Nevertheless what does the Scripture say?
  "Cast out the bondwoman and her son, for the son
  of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son
  of the freewoman." 31 So then, brethren, we are
  not children of the bondwoman but of the free.

25
Trying To Be Bound Under Two Covenants

• Galatians 51-4 Stand fast therefore in the
  liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do
  not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage. 2
  Indeed I, Paul, say to you that if you become
  circumcised, Christ will profit you nothing. 3
  And I testify again to every man who becomes
  circumcised that he is a debtor to keep the whole
  law. 4 You have become estranged from Christ, you
  who attempt to be justified by law you have
  fallen from grace.
