WE HAVE A BETTER COVENANT BECAUSE The new covenant redeems us from the curse

  • The old covenant brings a curse while the new covenant redeems from the curse 

“For all who rely on the works of the law are under a curse, as it is written: “Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law.”Clearly no one who relies on the law is justified before God, because “the righteous will live by faith.” The law is not based on faith; on the contrary, it says, “The person who does these things will live by them.” Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: “Cursed is everyone who is hung on a pole.” (Gal. 3:10-13 NIV)

  • The old covenant was abolished while the new covenant  is in force 

“He did this by ending the system of law with its commandments and regulations. He made peace between Jews and Gentiles by creating in himself one new people from the two groups.” (Eph. 2:15) 

  • The old covenant is a shadow while the new covenant is the reality 

“The law is only a shadow of the good things that are coming—not the realities themselves.” (Heb. 10:1 NIV)

“For by one sacrifice he has made perfect forever those who are being made holy.” (Heb. 10:14 NIV)
