Many sincere believers love the Bible, but they often have questions about the Old and New Covenants. They read Moses, the prophets, Jesus' words, and the apostles' writings, yet they struggle to see how everything connects. Should Christians follow the law? Are believers still bound by the commandments given to Israel through Moses? Does grace mean believers can live without regard for certain rules? What is the proper approach to the Sabbath, tithing, prayer, marriage, restitution, holiness, worship, and other instructions in the Scriptures? Understanding the Old and New Covenants clarifies confusion with patience and Scripture. This book clarifies that Genesis to Malachi isn't strictly the Old Covenant, and Matthew to Revelation isn't solely the New Covenant. The Old Covenant was made between God and Israel through Moses, while the New Covenant was established through Jesus Christ's blood. Recognizing this distinction enhances biblical understanding and weakens the arguments that have kept believers in fear. In these pages, the author discusses the purpose of the law, its limitations, and why Christ is described as 'the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth' (Romans 10:4). He clarifies that grace is not the same as lawlessness and that being free from the law does not mean being free from Jesus' lordship. Grace is what saves, teaches, trains, and fosters a life that honors God. Instead of returning to Moses for righteousness, believers are called to walk in the Spirit, live in newness of life, and obey Christ sincerely from the heart. If you have ever been confused by the law-and-grace debate, or made afraid by Scriptures quoted without a covenant understanding, this book will help you see Christ more clearly. It will teach you to honour all Scripture, reject bondage, embrace grace, and live boldly as a New Covenant believer in Jesus Christ.
