COVENANT: PENALTY & PROMISE (THE LAW OF MOSES)
(Message by Tanny Keng)
1. Covenant
a) "Jesus has obtained a more excellent ministry, because he is the mediator of a better covenant, which is based on better promises" (Hebrews 8:6-8).
b) “What sort of covenant was this new and better one?” To answer that question, we need to consider the kind of covenant.
2. Penalty And Promise
a) It is a covenant that makes promises that are conditional upon the beneficiary doing something specified.
b) For example, the Law of Moses...
i) The old law of Moses was this kind of covenant — a law with penalties for those who disobeyed, and promises for those who obeyed.
God said, "Now then, if you will indeed obey my voice and keep my covenant, then you shall be my own possession among all the peoples, for all the earth is mine; and you shall be to me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation..." (Exodus 19:5-6).
The End ...
