Hi everyone,
Other then the old is old and new is new, what are the differences of the old and new covenant ( Moses ) , I am asking because I do not see any difference, both are about keeping the law?
Also please use scripture.
Thank you and have a good Easter.

The blood of bulls and goats covered their sins and could not wash them away completely, and there was a remembrance of their sins every year in which a sacrifice had to be made again to cover those sins.
The Old Testament could not provide spiritual salvation to be able to dwell with God but they were only blessed with physical blessings on this earth.
In the Old Testament they could be blessed with money, and property, and abundance of food, and the protection of their nation from their enemies.
The New Covenant is a spiritual covenant with spiritual blessings but also the physical blessing of food, and clothing, and the saints are only to go by their needs, and not their wants, which the early Church sold all they had that was not a necessity and distributed the money to the poor.
The blood of Jesus completely washes away sins which then they can have the Spirit causing them to have a spiritual relationship with God, and be with Him.
The 2 greatest laws are love God, and love people, which Paul said we do not void out the law through faith, but we establish the law which are the laws of love, moral laws.
Which the law is spiritual, holy, just, and good, and must be obeyed for love is the fulfilling of the law.
Which charity, love in action, is greater than faith, and hope, and faith works by love.
Which love does not think an evil thought, and does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth to be led of the Spirit to be Christlike which a Spirit led life will not fulfill the lusts of the flesh.
The law is always to be obeyed the laws of love, moral laws, but they had physical laws in the Old Testament that do not apply in the New Testament.
Which Jesus nailed the physical ordinances of Israel to His cross taking them out of the way for they were contrary to us for they had no bearing on spiritual salvation.
Therefore let no person judge you of those ordinances for we do not have to obey them today.
In the Old Testament they could not have the Spirit because their sins were only covered, so they could not have a spiritual relationship with God, but in the New Testament we can have the Spirit for our sins are completely washed away, so we can have a spiritual relationship with God.
