The new covenant is about the law, and the old covenant was about the law. Under the old covenant the law was given to man with rules. It did not specify the love that was necessary for them to be valid so they could be followed legalistically but not spiritually. The new covenant gave the same laws, but in the heart.
Jeremiah 31:33 "I will put my laws in their minds and write them on their hearts"
Jeremiah 31:33 "I will put my laws in their minds and write them on their hearts"
Jeremiah 31:31-32
the new covenant is not according to the old . You realize when we’re saying a covenant we’re talking about the words spoken and then the blood being shed right ?
this is how a covenant is made
“And he took the book of the covenant, and read in the audience of the people: and they said, All that the Lord hath said will we do, and be obedient.
And Moses took the blood, and sprinkled it on the people, and said, Behold the blood of the covenant, which the Lord hath made with you concerning all these words.”
Exodus 24:7-8
When your saying the law of Moses your talking about the law of that covenant according to the blood he shed for those people .
that has nothing to do with the new covenant not the words in Moses book of the law , nor the blood of bulls and goats , nor the man made temple they served in , nor the sinful priests who ruled over and served of the law . The law of Moses , the covenant made with Israel when he delivered them from slavery in Egypt , that is not our covenant law , Moses isn’t our mediator or intercessor
the law is useful for learning things but it is not the truth of God it’s a blinder to the truth when people won’t let it go and be baptized into the new covenant
“And not as Moses, which put a veil over his face, that the children of Israel could not stedfastly look to the end of that which is abolished: But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same veil untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which veil is done away in Christ. But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the veil is upon their heart.”
2 Corinthians 3:13-15
there is a witness by Moses of Christ in the law of Christ but it has nothing to do with keeping the law it’s in fact apart from the law
“But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;”
Romans 3:21 KJV
The law witnessed of Jesus in a figure but Moses witnessed of him this way showing christs words would be greater
“For Moses truly said ( deaiteroniny 18) unto the fathers, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me;
him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you. And it shall come to pass, that every soul, which will not hear that prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people.
Yea, and all the prophets from Samuel and those that follow after, as many as have spoken, have likewise foretold of these days.
Ye are the children of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying unto Abraham, And in thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed.
Unto you first God, having raised up his Son Jesus, sent him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from his iniquities.”
Acts 3:22-26 KJV
Jesus is the one Moses told them they were waiting for even then that christs word would take precedent over Moses word .
there are two covenants each has its own law mediated by its own mediator they each have a purpose one does this
“Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.
Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.”
Romans 3:19-20 KJV
all the law can do is reveal mines sinfulness time them and hold them guilty and under a sentence of death
the other new covenant that is. It according to the old like he said , does this
“Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins:
And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.
Beware therefore, lest that come upon you, which is spoken of in the prophets; Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I work a work in your days, a work which ye shall in no wise believe, though a man declare it unto you.”
Acts 13:38-41
the old covenant lead here because of sin
“The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant. Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are desolate: therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left.”
Isaiah 24:5-6 KJV
that curse was written in thier law as the condition If they broke the covenant
Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse;
A blessing, if ye obey the commandments of the Lord your God, which I command you this day:
And a curse, if ye will not obey the commandments of the Lord your God, but turn aside out of the way which I command you this day, to go after other gods, which ye have not known.”
Deuteronomy 11:26-28 KJV
“For when I shall have brought them into the land which I sware unto their fathers, that floweth with milk and honey; and they shall have eaten and filled themselves, and waxen fat; then will they turn unto other gods, and serve them, and provoke me, and break my covenant.”
Deuteronomy 31:20 KJV
I’m sure you realize they continually broke everything he told them to not do and repeatedly returned to worship of false Gods even using his temple to do so and the seven major highest hills of Jerusalem where they built altars to false gods and sacrificed to them all over Jerusalem and Israel
they chose the curse written in their covenant now Gods new covenant he has promised because they broke the first has come
We have a way way way better covenant
“Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.”
John 5:24
Thier covenant is eternal but it’s a curse because of sin it’s what has cursed the earth to doom . The nreaking of thier covenant brought the curses of the law into the earth now we have salvation offered because it’s the kingdom. Of God that is being preached now not the mosaic law
