Law, Covenant, & Testament 2

What's a covenant?
Answer - an agreement; committment.


What's the old covenant?
Answer - The agreement in which people commit to obey God by their "own works".  This overlooks how God empowers "obedience by faith" (aka righteousness).

See Exodus 19:3-8.

What's the new covenant?
Answer - The new agreement by which people get God to work in them & through them by faith. Meaning, God empowers their "obedience by faith" (aka righteousness).
See Hebrews 8:6-10.
