It says that under the old covenant it taught works, but under the new covenant it teaches faith. Under the old covenant they taught law, under the new one they teach grace. Under the old covenant they teach works, under the new covenant they teach rest.
Yet under the old covenant you find teaching of faith and grace. Those are eternal truths, not old and new. The true law is the spirit of the law and it is eternal, not old and new.
the old covenant was based upon thier works without having faith , or the Holy Ghost. It’s old because of the word presented it spoke on this wise
“ if you keep every command and ordinance Moses has given you , you will be blessed when you enter into the promised land you will live a long blessed life and then sleep with the fathers of you keep everything you were given on Moses book “
“ but if you do not keep every command and ordinance you will be curses when you enter the promised land and I will curse you and not bless I will make the land desolate until you are all destroyed , if you go aside from any of my commandments in Moses book “
Faith speaks like the is after the word of true covenant is given
“And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and
preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved;
but he that
believeth not shall be damned.”
Mark 16:15-16 KJV
it’s not based upon “ if you do each and everything Jesus spoke you will be blessed but if you mess up you are cursed “
it’s based purely on promise of
whoever believes the gospel and is baptized
shall be saved . It produces faith telling us we’re going to be saved if we believe the gospel of the kingdom and as we seek him in the word we’re going to start believing the right things to do and. Ot to do if we keep believing he’s able to soccur us and strengthen us in those things by faith
There are works that come by faith ( by believing Jesus word , that produces the right works in us and then we willingly do those things ) but salvstion by faith
and doing works so you aren’t cursed are different one says “ if you do everything Moses said in the book you will have a blessing if you don’t you’ll be cursed the other says “
“if you
believe the gospel you shall be
saved if you
don’t believe the gospel you’ll be
cursed “
one word focuses us on our own capability without the Holy Ghost being given to us , without the word of faith that gives us life _
. The other is based solely on receiving the word of life and believing because it’s able to change our hearts and that is where the works come from under faith. There are works we do but we have to hear faith first to understand what they are and that we’re meant to actually do them believing Jesus gospel is what teaches us those things.
our life is a grace period in the gospel
to come to repentance and let the gospel doctrine change our hearts so we become zealous of doing the good and turning away from the evil
“For
the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;
Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;
Who gave himself for us, that
he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.”
Titus 2:11-14 KJV
one saves by belief first d produces works from that belief , the other tells us the works of the old time , and says do them all or die but doesn’t empower anyone to change in the heart or invite belief that saves
