The Power of the New Covenant

from Brilliant Perspectives · host Graham Cooke

Jesus didn't come to simply patch up the old covenant. He came to replace it entirely. While the old covenant relied on sacrifices, rules, and striving for righteousness, the new covenant is all about Jesus — who perfectly fulfilled the law on our behalf. Now, our salvation is a gift, and sanctification isn't about earning it through our performance. It's about embracing our identity in Christ and growing in His likeness. Key Scriptures: + Hebrews 8:6. But now He has obtained a more excellent ministry, to the extent that He is also the mediator of a better covenant, which has been enacted on better promises. + Hebrew 8:13. When He said, “A new covenant,” He has made the first obsolete. But whatever is becoming obsolete and growing old is about to disappear. + Romans 6:10. For the death that He died, He died to sin once for all time; but the life that He lives, He lives to God. + Ephesians 4:20-24. But you did not learn Christ in this way, if indeed you have heard Him and have been taught in Him, just as truth is in Jesus, that, in reference to your former way of life, you are to rid yourselves of the old self, which is being corrupted in accordance with the lusts of deceit, and that you are to be renewed in the spirit of your minds, and to put on the new self, which in the likeness of God has been created in righteousness and holiness of the truth.
