Law, Covenant, & Testament 3

What is a testament?
Answer - Will, desire, or the details that capture the qualities of someone or something.
See Hebrews 9:16-17.

What is the old testament?
Answer: The old testament sealed the old covenant by sacrificial offerings.
See Hebrews 9:18-24.

What is the new testament?
Answer: The new testament sealed the new covenant by Jesus' sacrificial offering.
See Mark 14:24; Hebrews 9:28,18-24.

Are those who are under the both testaments connected in Christ?
Answer: Yes.
See Hebrews 9:15.

Conclusion - Law, Covenant, and Testament (parts 1-3)

2 types of laws were changed after Jesus death & resurrection:
Laws that penalized us (i.e. sin offerings). See Deuteronomy 31:26; Colossians 2:14.
Laws that foreshadowed Christ (i.e. Sanctuary items). See Hebrews 9:1-15; Luke 24:44-46.

So, God wants us to obey Him in all things (by faith).
