#7 - The New Covenant

Most think the New Covenant started something new and disconnected believers from previous actions and covenants of God. But this isn't so. Rather the New Covenant, when fully implemented is the culmination of all the previous Covenants and all their promises fulfilled--because not even the New negates previously ratified covenants with God as Galatians 3:15 & 17 lets us know--"Brothers and sisters, I speak in human terms: even with a man’s covenant, once it has been confirmed, no one cancels it or adds to it... 17 What I am saying is this: Torah, which came 430 years later, does not cancel the covenant previously confirmed by God, so as to make the promise ineffective."

All the previous covenants, the Abrahamic, the Mosaic, the Davidic were all previously confirmed, therefore legal, therefore irrevocable.

The New Covenant, inaugurated by Messiah Yeshua and His death & resurrection, brings the Gospel, the Good News of the Abrahamic, Mosaic & Davidic covenants together--the promise of regathering His people to the Land, making them holy & putting a King on the eternal throne of David. The Scriptures give us insight into what that world is going to look like, when the New Covenant is fully in effect.

But we're not fully there yet. While implemented, ratified, accepted and confirmed by God in the Resurrection of Messiah, we are still waiting for the fullness the New Covenant to be fulfilled and enacted. 

We have the Holy Spirit, the down payment guaranteeing the full payment at a later date. May that day come quickly and in our day.
