Covenants of Promise
The God of the Old Testament Part 7
The second covenant was initiated by God the Father to restore humanity through the redemptive work of God the Son. It was exclusive between God and God, making it flawless and unbreakable.
Humanity’s only role is accepting the salvation provided by being born again. Jesus as the High Priest offered His own sinless blood and entered heaven to obtain eternal redemption. This new covenant is superior because it is mediated by the Son of God. His sacrifice fulfilled and surpassed the old system, yet also affirmed the authority of the Old Testament because Jesus only fulfilled the sacrificial part of the Mosaic Law.
The rest remains as the expression of God’s character. The Law of Moses never saved anyone, yet obedience reflects righteousness and reverence toward God. Jesus is unchanging and His standards throughout the Bible are consistent.
