What Is the New Testament?

from Family Conversations · host RENEW.org

What is the New Testament, who wrote its 27 books, and what does it teach us about Jesus and the new covenant? Get the book Real Life Theology Conversations: https://renew.org/rltc/ The New Testament is more than a collection of Christian writings. It contains the apostles’ teaching about Jesus the Messiah, reveals the new covenant established through his blood, and shows how the earliest Christians lived out their faith. In this episode of Family Conversations on Real Life Theology, Bobby Harrington and Jordan Arnold join hosts Caitlyn Rozenboom and Collin Mathies to explain the meaning and importance of the New Testament. They discuss the authority of the apostles’ teaching, the different kinds of books found in the New Testament, and how the Old Testament prepares us for the arrival of Jesus. The conversation also explores why the new covenant is better than the old covenant. Through Jesus, God’s promises come into clearer focus: the Messiah has arrived, salvation has been accomplished, and Christians can now live under the reign of King Jesus. Finally, the group offers practical encouragement for family discipleship. Parents and grandparents can help children value Scripture through family conversations, daily devotionals, Bible memorization, personal example, and consistent spiritual leadership. Even if you have not established these habits before, you can begin today.
