What's "New" About the New Covenant?

Send us Fan MailIn this episode we study Jeremiah’s Old Covenant prophecy announcing God’s promise of a New Covenant in Jeremiah 31:31–34. We’re going to answer the question: How does New Covenant differ from the Old Covenant? What exactly makes it new? We’ll look at its historical and prophetic context, the essence of what it is, and its fulfillment as prophecy. We’ll also look at who the New Covenant was made with and what it means that God will write his law (or his Torah) on their hearts. And in our discussion, we’ll be drawing a bit from the book "Sealed with an Oath" by Paul Williamson. We’ll also bring in comments from several other scholars. And I think you’ll find this fascinating discussion.Video mentioned in this episode5 Reasons we can't follow the Gospel and the Law at the same timeAre Christians under a New or Renewed Covenant?Grafted Into What?
