  • I'm john bradshaw. thanks for joining me.
  • 00:00:22.212 --> 00:00:25.048
  • When adam and eve chose to sin in the garden of eden,
  • 00:00:25.048 --> 00:00:27.750
  • Circumstances were set in motion that would guarantee
  • 00:00:27.750 --> 00:00:31.054
  • The death of jesus and the downward spiral of planet earth.
  • 00:00:31.054 --> 00:00:36.359
  • Eating the forbidden fruit opened the door to evil
  • 00:00:36.359 --> 00:00:39.362
  • And all its attendant misery.
  • 00:00:39.362 --> 00:00:41.731
  • Not long after declaring that the world was "very good,"
  • 00:00:41.731 --> 00:00:44.968
  • God evicted the human family from the home he had prepared
  • 00:00:44.968 --> 00:00:48.404
  • Especially for them.
  • 00:00:48.404 --> 00:00:49.906

  • 00:00:49.906 --> 00:00:50.907
  • So, what would god do with sinners?
  • 00:00:50.907 --> 00:00:53.409
  • He could leave humanity to its fate, to die an eternal death,
  • 00:00:53.409 --> 00:00:58.414
  • Or he could step into the midst of the chaos
  • 00:00:58.414 --> 00:01:01.484
  • Adam and eve had caused and save humanity.
  • 00:01:01.484 --> 00:01:04.921
  • In order to do so, god would give his son jesus to bear
  • 00:01:04.921 --> 00:01:08.525
  • The sins of the world, giving the inhabitants of planet earth
  • 00:01:08.525 --> 00:01:11.394
  • The opportunity to receive the everlasting life
  • 00:01:11.394 --> 00:01:14.397
  • Which they had willingly forfeited.
  • 00:01:14.397 --> 00:01:17.734
  • So, what would god choose?
  • 00:01:17.734 --> 00:01:20.236
  • The bible records the answer
  • 00:01:20.236 --> 00:01:21.538
  • In some of history's best-known words:
  • 00:01:21.538 --> 00:01:24.073
  • "for god so loved the world,
  • 00:01:24.073 --> 00:01:26.009
  • "that he gave his only begotten son,
  • 00:01:26.009 --> 00:01:28.778
  • "that whosoever believeth in him should not perish,
  • 00:01:28.778 --> 00:01:31.381
  • But have everlasting life."
  • 00:01:31.381 --> 00:01:33.883
  • God would choose to save his rebellious children,
  • 00:01:33.883 --> 00:01:36.786
  • And in choosing to do so,
  • 00:01:36.786 --> 00:01:38.821
  • He made a promise to people of all time.
  • 00:01:38.821 --> 00:01:43.026
  • Shortly after adam and eve sinned, god said to satan,
  • 00:01:43.026 --> 00:01:46.763
  • "i will put enmity between you and the woman,
  • 00:01:46.763 --> 00:01:49.766
  • "and between your seed and her seed;
  • 00:01:49.766 --> 00:01:52.402
  • "he shall bruise your head,
  • 00:01:52.402 --> 00:01:54.737
  • And you shall bruise his heel."
  • 00:01:54.737 --> 00:01:57.006
  • This was an assurance: you did that, but i will do this.
  • 00:01:57.006 --> 00:02:03.246
  • This was god introducing something
  • 00:02:03.246 --> 00:02:04.847
  • Called "the everlasting covenant."
  • 00:02:04.847 --> 00:02:08.017
  • Two important things:
  • 00:02:08.017 --> 00:02:09.419
  • One, it was a covenant,
  • 00:02:09.419 --> 00:02:11.421
  • And two, it was everlasting.
  • 00:02:11.421 --> 00:02:14.757
  • But what if later generations should reject the god of heaven
  • 00:02:14.757 --> 00:02:19.329
  • And choose instead to worship idols?
  • 00:02:19.329 --> 00:02:23.032
  • What if god's people became so completely given over to sin
  • 00:02:23.032 --> 00:02:26.803
  • That their enemies would triumph over them
  • 00:02:26.803 --> 00:02:29.872
  • And they would serve heathen nations?
  • 00:02:29.872 --> 00:02:33.409
  • God's assurance would stand.
  • 00:02:33.409 --> 00:02:36.346
  • Even though his people had sinned and separated themselves
  • 00:02:36.346 --> 00:02:39.449
  • From him, god would do all he could to reestablish
  • 00:02:39.449 --> 00:02:43.653
  • The saving relationship between himself and his people
  • 00:02:43.653 --> 00:02:47.357
  • By means of a covenant.

  • ♪[bright music]♪
  • 00:02:50.727 --> 00:02:51.928
  • A covenant is an agreement in which parties bind themselves
  • 00:02:51.928 --> 00:02:55.365
  • And each other to the fulfillment
  • 00:02:55.365 --> 00:02:57.533
  • Of certain conditions.
  • 00:02:57.533 --> 00:02:59.035
  • But unlike human covenants,
  • 00:02:59.035 --> 00:03:00.970
  • In which human selfishness invariably gets in the way,
  • 00:03:00.970 --> 00:03:04.941
  • God commits himself to this covenant no matter what.
  • 00:03:04.941 --> 00:03:09.279
  • God's covenant is an ironclad pledge
  • 00:03:09.279 --> 00:03:11.848
  • In which he promises to give himself for the world.
  • 00:03:11.848 --> 00:03:14.884
  • It's a guarantee that he will never abandon his people
  • 00:03:14.884 --> 00:03:18.388
  • And that he will continue to offer everlasting life.
  • 00:03:18.388 --> 00:03:22.659
  • The covenant established by god
  • 00:03:22.659 --> 00:03:24.260
  • Signifies a committed relationship
  • 00:03:24.260 --> 00:03:26.729
  • Between god and his children.
  • 00:03:26.729 --> 00:03:29.265
  • It was an arrangement for saving the human family
  • 00:03:29.265 --> 00:03:32.935
  • And bringing it back into harmony with heaven.
  • 00:03:32.935 --> 00:03:36.439
  • God himself initiated the covenant relationship.
  • 00:03:36.439 --> 00:03:39.709
  • He took the initiative to appeal to the human family
  • 00:03:39.709 --> 00:03:43.046
  • To come into union with him.
  • 00:03:43.046 --> 00:03:45.381
  • When adam and eve were hiding from god,
  • 00:03:45.381 --> 00:03:47.950
  • God was pursuing them to call them back.
  • 00:03:47.950 --> 00:03:52.388
  • After that first covenant was made in the garden of eden,
  • 00:03:52.388 --> 00:03:56.059
  • The covenant was renewed.
  • 00:03:56.059 --> 00:03:58.328
  • It was renewed with noah.
  • 00:03:58.328 --> 00:03:59.829
  • God had destroyed the earth, and,
  • 00:03:59.829 --> 00:04:02.699
  • Given the destruction he brought upon the world,
  • 00:04:02.699 --> 00:04:05.068
  • It was vital that god reassured noah
  • 00:04:05.068 --> 00:04:08.271
  • That he hadn't abandoned his covenant
  • 00:04:08.271 --> 00:04:09.906
  • With the people of the earth.
  • 00:04:09.906 --> 00:04:11.908
  • "then god spoke to noah and to his sons with him,
  • 00:04:11.908 --> 00:04:14.377
  • "saying: 'and as for me, behold, i establish my covenant
  • 00:04:14.377 --> 00:04:18.348
  • "'with you and with your descendants after you,
  • 00:04:18.348 --> 00:04:20.717
  • "'and with every living creature that is with you....
  • 00:04:20.717 --> 00:04:23.119
  • "'thus i establish my covenant with you:
  • 00:04:23.119 --> 00:04:25.822
  • "'never again shall all flesh be cut off
  • 00:04:25.822 --> 00:04:28.191
  • "'by the waters of the flood;
  • 00:04:28.191 --> 00:04:29.859
  • "never again shall there be a flood to destroy the earth.'
  • 00:04:29.859 --> 00:04:32.995
  • "and god said: 'this is the sign of the covenant which i make
  • 00:04:32.995 --> 00:04:37.033
  • "'between me and you, and every living creature
  • 00:04:37.033 --> 00:04:40.002
  • "'that is with you, for perpetual generations:
  • 00:04:40.002 --> 00:04:43.306
  • "'i set my rainbow in the cloud,
  • 00:04:43.306 --> 00:04:46.309
  • "'and it shall be for the sign of the covenant
  • 00:04:46.309 --> 00:04:48.845
  • Between me and the earth.'"
  • 00:04:48.845 --> 00:04:50.780
  • That's genesis, chapter 9, verses 8 through 13.
  • 00:04:50.780 --> 00:04:53.783
  • After devastating the planet, god reassured noah:
  • 00:04:53.783 --> 00:04:58.721
  • I made a covenant with your forebears,
  • 00:04:58.721 --> 00:05:00.823
  • And i'm letting you know that in spite of what's just occurred,
  • 00:05:00.823 --> 00:05:04.026
  • I intend to honor my covenant with you and your descendants.
  • 00:05:04.026 --> 00:05:09.198
  • The covenant was renewed again with abraham,
  • 00:05:09.198 --> 00:05:11.634
  • Who was abram at the time.
  • 00:05:11.634 --> 00:05:13.970
  • God spoke with the patriarch and said,
  • 00:05:13.970 --> 00:05:15.838
  • "i will make you a great nation;
  • 00:05:15.838 --> 00:05:18.541
  • "i will bless you and make your name great;
  • 00:05:18.541 --> 00:05:21.811
  • "and you shall be a blessing....
  • 00:05:21.811 --> 00:05:24.213
  • And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed."
  • 00:05:24.213 --> 00:05:29.118
  • That promise pointed to the advent of jesus as the messiah.
  • 00:05:29.118 --> 00:05:34.390
  • Now, after this, the next thing genesis says about abram
  • 00:05:34.390 --> 00:05:37.260
  • Is that while in egypt he claimed sarai was his sister
  • 00:05:37.260 --> 00:05:41.564
  • And not his wife, fearing that if the truth was known,
  • 00:05:41.564 --> 00:05:45.034
  • His life would be in jeopardy.
  • 00:05:45.034 --> 00:05:47.270
  • That cowardly act was a complete lack of faith in god.
  • 00:05:47.270 --> 00:05:53.609
  • Yet, in spite of his disgraceful behavior,
  • 00:05:53.609 --> 00:05:56.746
  • God did not cast off abram.
  • 00:05:56.746 --> 00:05:59.549
  • Two chapters later,
  • 00:05:59.549 --> 00:06:00.817
  • He renewed his covenant with his faulty friend.
  • 00:06:00.817 --> 00:06:04.387
  • Speaking to abram, god said, "i am the lord,
  • 00:06:04.387 --> 00:06:07.356
  • "who brought you out of ur of the chaldeans,
  • 00:06:07.356 --> 00:06:10.560
  • To give you this land to inherit it."
  • 00:06:10.560 --> 00:06:13.229
  • Some time had passed since the covenant was last mentioned,
  • 00:06:13.229 --> 00:06:16.032
  • And abram was no doubt wondering
  • 00:06:16.032 --> 00:06:17.900
  • When he would become the great nation god had spoken of.
  • 00:06:17.900 --> 00:06:21.437
  • He inquired of god, saying,
  • 00:06:21.437 --> 00:06:22.872
  • "lord god, how shall i know that i will inherit it?"
  • 00:06:22.872 --> 00:06:27.777
  • God then entered into a solemn covenant with abram, saying,
  • 00:06:27.777 --> 00:06:33.216
  • "bring me a three-year-old heifer,
  • 00:06:33.216 --> 00:06:35.718
  • "a three-year-old female goat, a three-year-old ram,
  • 00:06:35.718 --> 00:06:39.222
  • A turtledove, and a young pigeon."
  • 00:06:39.222 --> 00:06:42.592
  • The animals were killed and placed in order on the ground.
  • 00:06:42.592 --> 00:06:47.630
  • God spoke to abram and said,
  • 00:06:47.630 --> 00:06:49.265
  • "'know certainly that your descendants will be strangers
  • 00:06:49.265 --> 00:06:51.934
  • "'in a land that is not theirs, and will serve them,
  • 00:06:51.934 --> 00:06:55.137
  • "'and they will afflict them four hundred years.' ...
  • 00:06:55.137 --> 00:06:58.040
  • "on the same day the lord made a covenant with abram, saying:
  • 00:06:58.040 --> 00:07:00.977
  • "'to your descendants i have given this land,
  • 00:07:00.977 --> 00:07:04.113
  • "'from the river of egypt to the great river,
  • 00:07:04.113 --> 00:07:06.816
  • The river euphrates.'"
  • 00:07:06.816 --> 00:07:09.352
  • God spoke to abram in the strongest possible language.
  • 00:07:09.352 --> 00:07:13.523
  • Abram was to know certainly that after a period of servitude,
  • 00:07:13.523 --> 00:07:17.994
  • His descendants would come out with great possessions.
  • 00:07:17.994 --> 00:07:21.831
  • God's presence then passed between the dead animals
  • 00:07:21.831 --> 00:07:26.302
  • Confirming that he had indeed given the promised land
  • 00:07:26.302 --> 00:07:29.705
  • To abram and his offspring.
  • 00:07:29.705 --> 00:07:31.474
  • In this covenant arrangement both parties were saying,
  • 00:07:31.474 --> 00:07:35.511
  • Essentially, "if i do not hold up my end of this covenant,
  • 00:07:35.511 --> 00:07:40.683
  • May i become as one of these dead animals."
  • 00:07:40.683 --> 00:07:44.887
  • This was a sign of god's absolute commitment
  • 00:07:44.887 --> 00:07:48.090
  • To the salvation of the human family.
  • 00:07:48.090 --> 00:07:51.160
  • He was stating his total dedication
  • 00:07:51.160 --> 00:07:53.829
  • To what he had initially promised in the garden of eden.
  • 00:07:53.829 --> 00:07:56.966
  • There was a way back to the heart of god for sinful people.
  • 00:07:56.966 --> 00:08:01.270
  • He wouldn't ever withdraw his promise
  • 00:08:01.270 --> 00:08:04.173
  • Of an unbroken relationship with humanity.
  • 00:08:04.173 --> 00:08:08.311
  • So why then was there an old covenant and a new covenant?

  • Call 800-253-3000.
  • 00:09:21.851 --> 00:09:24.387
  • >>john bradshaw: thanks for joining me on "it is written."
  • 00:09:25.988 --> 00:09:28.290
  • God established a covenant with the human family
  • 00:09:28.290 --> 00:09:31.227
  • When adam and eve fell into sin in the garden of eden.
  • 00:09:31.227 --> 00:09:34.330
  • With the passage of time, the covenant was reiterated.
  • 00:09:34.330 --> 00:09:37.933
  • When the covenant was reestablished in genesis 17,
  • 00:09:37.933 --> 00:09:41.170
  • Abram's name was changed to abraham.
  • 00:09:41.170 --> 00:09:44.073
  • Sarai's name was changed to sarah.
  • 00:09:44.073 --> 00:09:46.909
  • Circumcision was given as the sign of the covenant,
  • 00:09:46.909 --> 00:09:50.212
  • Distinguishing the followers of god
  • 00:09:50.212 --> 00:09:51.914
  • From those who were not under the covenant,
  • 00:09:51.914 --> 00:09:54.583
  • Foreshadowing the practice of baptism,
  • 00:09:54.583 --> 00:09:56.819
  • And it was a sign of righteousness by faith.
  • 00:09:56.819 --> 00:10:00.823
  • Hundreds of years later when israel had escaped
  • 00:10:00.823 --> 00:10:04.226
  • Egyptian slavery and was encamped at mount sinai,
  • 00:10:04.226 --> 00:10:07.630
  • God proposed another covenant:
  • 00:10:07.630 --> 00:10:10.533
  • "now therefore, if you will indeed obey my voice and keep
  • 00:10:10.533 --> 00:10:14.370
  • "my covenant, then you shall be a special treasure to me
  • 00:10:14.370 --> 00:10:18.474
  • "above all people; for all the earth is mine.
  • 00:10:18.474 --> 00:10:22.445
  • And you shall be to me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation."
  • 00:10:22.445 --> 00:10:26.916
  • This was the old covenant.
  • 00:10:26.916 --> 00:10:29.085
  • The covenant made with adam and reiterated with abraham
  • 00:10:29.085 --> 00:10:32.354
  • Was the covenant of grace, the everlasting covenant.
  • 00:10:32.354 --> 00:10:36.258
  • This parenthetical covenant was the old covenant.
  • 00:10:36.258 --> 00:10:39.962
  • By the time they'd come out of egypt, the people had lost sight
  • 00:10:39.962 --> 00:10:43.632
  • Of the principles of the covenant made with abraham.
  • 00:10:43.632 --> 00:10:46.635
  • Delivering israel from egypt and the armies of egypt
  • 00:10:46.635 --> 00:10:49.205
  • When all hope seemed lost was intended to fill them
  • 00:10:49.205 --> 00:10:52.108
  • With love for god and confidence in his power.
  • 00:10:52.108 --> 00:10:55.177
  • At the same time, god wanted them
  • 00:10:55.177 --> 00:10:57.146
  • To see their own brokenness, their inability to obey him,
  • 00:10:57.146 --> 00:11:01.150
  • And their need of a savior.
  • 00:11:01.150 --> 00:11:03.652
  • Bringing them to sinai, god gave his law
  • 00:11:03.652 --> 00:11:07.022
  • And promised them great blessings if they would obey.
  • 00:11:07.022 --> 00:11:10.760
  • The terms of the old covenant were "obey and live."
  • 00:11:10.760 --> 00:11:14.296
  • "if a man does, he shall live by them."
  • 00:11:14.296 --> 00:11:16.732
  • Leviticus 18, verse 5.
  • 00:11:16.732 --> 00:11:18.134
  • "but cursed is the one who does not confirm all the words
  • 00:11:18.134 --> 00:11:22.371
  • Of this law by [obeying] them."
  • 00:11:22.371 --> 00:11:24.340
  • Deuteronomy 27:26.
  • 00:11:24.340 --> 00:11:27.143
  • But when god established the covenant at sinai,
  • 00:11:27.143 --> 00:11:29.545
  • The children of israel made an empty promise:
  • 00:11:29.545 --> 00:11:33.983
  • "all the words which the lord has said we will do."
  • 00:11:33.983 --> 00:11:38.521
  • They were sincere as could be,
  • 00:11:38.521 --> 00:11:41.157
  • Yet it was only a few short weeks
  • 00:11:41.157 --> 00:11:43.459
  • After they made that solemn promise
  • 00:11:43.459 --> 00:11:46.562
  • That they were dancing naked before a golden calf.
  • 00:11:46.562 --> 00:11:50.399
  • The covenant made between god and his people at sinai
  • 00:11:50.399 --> 00:11:53.435
  • Was dead on arrival because of the absolute inability
  • 00:11:53.435 --> 00:11:57.606
  • Of the people to remain committed to god.
  • 00:11:57.606 --> 00:12:00.709
  • [indistinct chatter, drums and horns playing]
  • 00:12:00.709 --> 00:12:02.044
  • The new covenant was established upon better promises,
  • 00:12:02.044 --> 00:12:06.549
  • The promise of forgiveness of sins and of the grace of god
  • 00:12:06.549 --> 00:12:10.486
  • To renew the heart and bring it into harmony
  • 00:12:10.486 --> 00:12:13.355
  • With the principles of god's law.
  • 00:12:13.355 --> 00:12:15.825
  • "'but this is the covenant that i will make
  • 00:12:15.825 --> 00:12:18.027
  • "with the house of israel after those days,' says the lord:
  • 00:12:18.027 --> 00:12:21.497
  • "'i will put my law in their minds,
  • 00:12:21.497 --> 00:12:23.265
  • "and write it on their hearts; and i will be their god,
  • 00:12:23.265 --> 00:12:26.802
  • "'and they shall be my people....
  • 00:12:26.802 --> 00:12:29.138
  • "'i will forgive their iniquity,
  • 00:12:29.138 --> 00:12:31.207
  • And their sin i will remember no more.'"
  • 00:12:31.207 --> 00:12:35.277
  • That same law that was engraved upon the tables of stone
  • 00:12:35.277 --> 00:12:39.281
  • Is written by the holy spirit upon the tables of the heart.
  • 00:12:39.281 --> 00:12:43.252
  • Instead of going about to establish our own righteousness,
  • 00:12:43.252 --> 00:12:46.722
  • We accept the righteousness of christ.
  • 00:12:46.722 --> 00:12:49.158
  • His blood atones for our sins.
  • 00:12:49.158 --> 00:12:52.361
  • And his obedience is accepted for us.
  • 00:12:52.361 --> 00:12:56.198
  • Then, through the grace of god, we live in obedience
  • 00:12:56.198 --> 00:13:00.002
  • To the law of god written upon our hearts.
  • 00:13:00.002 --> 00:13:03.072
  • When the spirit of god is at work in your life,
  • 00:13:03.072 --> 00:13:05.941
  • You walk as jesus walked.
  • 00:13:05.941 --> 00:13:08.344
  • You can see how absolutely transformative this is.
  • 00:13:08.344 --> 00:13:12.314
  • The covenants made by god
  • 00:13:12.314 --> 00:13:13.515
  • Were arrangements by which sinful human beings
  • 00:13:13.515 --> 00:13:16.151
  • Might be brought back into harmony with god.
  • 00:13:16.151 --> 00:13:18.888
  • The new covenant could be called "the renewed covenant."
  • 00:13:18.888 --> 00:13:22.424
  • God announced it when judah was to be taken
  • 00:13:22.424 --> 00:13:24.693
  • Into babylonian captivity.
  • 00:13:24.693 --> 00:13:26.428
  • When all hope seemed lost, the sovereign of the universe
  • 00:13:26.428 --> 00:13:29.765
  • Assured his people he not only still cared for them,
  • 00:13:29.765 --> 00:13:33.669
  • But that, in spite of their failing,
  • 00:13:33.669 --> 00:13:35.905
  • He still had eternal plans for them.
  • 00:13:35.905 --> 00:13:39.708
  • The new covenant is expressed in the new testament
  • 00:13:39.775 --> 00:13:42.912
  • In both hebrews 8 and hebrews 10,
  • 00:13:42.912 --> 00:13:45.681
  • Where the covenant promise made in jeremiah 31 is repeated.
  • 00:13:45.681 --> 00:13:50.219
  • The old and new covenants
  • 00:13:50.219 --> 00:13:52.021
  • Are not radically different covenants.
  • 00:13:52.021 --> 00:13:54.823
  • And this can be a revelation for people schooled to believe
  • 00:13:54.823 --> 00:13:56.992
  • That god dealt or related to or even saved people differently
  • 00:13:56.992 --> 00:14:01.063
  • Under the two covenants.
  • 00:14:01.063 --> 00:14:02.831
  • He didn't, and he doesn't.
  • 00:14:02.831 --> 00:14:05.267
  • Under the old covenant, god pledged to be god
  • 00:14:05.267 --> 00:14:08.203
  • While the people pledged to be his children
  • 00:14:08.203 --> 00:14:10.306
  • And live in obedience.
  • 00:14:10.306 --> 00:14:12.041
  • In this new covenant, the same is true:
  • 00:14:12.041 --> 00:14:15.711
  • God is god, we are his people,
  • 00:14:15.711 --> 00:14:18.280
  • And we purpose to obey him and keep his commandments
  • 00:14:18.280 --> 00:14:21.951
  • As an expression of love and loyalty.
  • 00:14:21.951 --> 00:14:25.587
  • So what was different between one covenant and the other?
  • 00:14:25.587 --> 00:14:28.857
  • While the old covenant was ratified--
  • 00:14:28.857 --> 00:14:30.392
  • That means went into effect,
  • 00:14:30.392 --> 00:14:31.627
  • Based on the offering of animal sacrifices--
  • 00:14:31.627 --> 00:14:34.630
  • The new covenant was ratified when jesus died on the cross.
  • 00:14:34.630 --> 00:14:38.367
  • And whereas the old covenant was mediated by earthly priests
  • 00:14:38.367 --> 00:14:43.072
  • "who serve the copy and shadow of the heavenly things,"
  • 00:14:43.072 --> 00:14:47.276
  • The new covenant has "a great high priest who has passed
  • 00:14:47.276 --> 00:14:51.513
  • Through the heavens, jesus the son of god."
  • 00:14:51.513 --> 00:14:55.284
  • In both covenants there was to be a relationship
  • 00:14:55.284 --> 00:14:58.420
  • Between god and his people.
  • 00:14:58.420 --> 00:15:00.022
  • And whereas the old covenant was made with the nation of israel,
  • 00:15:00.022 --> 00:15:03.225
  • The new covenant was made with god's people everywhere.
  • 00:15:03.225 --> 00:15:08.263
  • Is it true that the old covenant is the old testament,
  • 00:15:09.565 --> 00:15:12.034
  • While the new covenant is the new testament?
  • 00:15:12.034 --> 00:15:15.371
  • No, the old covenant is a covenant.
  • 00:15:15.371 --> 00:15:19.108
  • The old testament is a collection of 39 books.
  • 00:15:19.108 --> 00:15:22.144
  • It's not the old covenant.
  • 00:15:22.144 --> 00:15:24.279
  • In the same way, the new covenant
  • 00:15:24.279 --> 00:15:25.681
  • Is not the new testament.
  • 00:15:25.681 --> 00:15:27.950
  • Keep in mind that the first time you read about the new covenant,
  • 00:15:27.950 --> 00:15:30.753
  • You do so in the old testament book of jeremiah.
  • 00:15:30.753 --> 00:15:35.524
  • Go back further and you'll see the new covenant experience
  • 00:15:35.524 --> 00:15:38.227
  • Described in deuteronomy, chapter 30.
  • 00:15:38.227 --> 00:15:41.897
  • The new covenant is actually very old.
  • 00:15:41.897 --> 00:15:47.169
  • Now, this might surprise you.
  • 00:15:47.169 --> 00:15:49.038
  • A person living today can live under the old covenant.
  • 00:15:49.038 --> 00:15:54.777
  • You could be living under the old covenant.
  • 00:15:54.777 --> 00:15:57.980
  • We'll find out how we can avoid doing that
  • 00:15:57.980 --> 00:15:59.815
  • And live under the new covenant in just a moment.

  • >>john bradshaw: what about the idea that the old covenant
  • 00:16:44.093 --> 00:16:45.794
  • Is based on god's law,
  • 00:16:45.794 --> 00:16:47.496
  • While the new covenant is founded upon grace?
  • 00:16:47.496 --> 00:16:50.299
  • The bible tells us that both noah and moses found grace
  • 00:16:50.299 --> 00:16:53.469
  • In the sight of god way back then.
  • 00:16:53.469 --> 00:16:55.938
  • The truth is every person who has ever been saved
  • 00:16:55.938 --> 00:16:59.641
  • Has been saved by grace through faith--
  • 00:16:59.641 --> 00:17:03.078
  • Today, through faith in the messiah who has come;
  • 00:17:03.078 --> 00:17:05.914
  • Back then, through faith in the messiah who was to come.
  • 00:17:05.914 --> 00:17:09.451
  • It is true that god's people were under a solemn obligation
  • 00:17:09.451 --> 00:17:12.154
  • To observe the ten commandments under the old covenant.
  • 00:17:12.154 --> 00:17:15.357
  • While in the new covenant, god says,
  • 00:17:15.357 --> 00:17:17.893
  • "i will put my laws in their mind
  • 00:17:17.893 --> 00:17:20.929
  • And write them on their hearts."
  • 00:17:20.929 --> 00:17:23.065
  • God still wants his people to live lives of obedience.
  • 00:17:23.065 --> 00:17:27.769
  • Jesus said, "if you love me, keep my commandments."
  • 00:17:27.769 --> 00:17:32.508
  • God's saved people in earth's final days are "those who keep
  • 00:17:32.508 --> 00:17:36.845
  • The commandments of god and the faith of jesus."
  • 00:17:36.845 --> 00:17:40.916
  • But that does not mean god's people are saved
  • 00:17:40.916 --> 00:17:42.818
  • By keeping god's law.
  • 00:17:42.818 --> 00:17:44.319
  • The bible remains clear that all are saved
  • 00:17:44.319 --> 00:17:46.822
  • By grace through faith.
  • 00:17:46.822 --> 00:17:50.292
  • The laws of types and shadows were made obsolete
  • 00:17:50.292 --> 00:17:54.163
  • When jesus died on the cross, and "the veil of the temple
  • 00:17:54.163 --> 00:17:57.633
  • Was torn in two from top to bottom."
  • 00:17:57.633 --> 00:18:00.669
  • That meant no more animal sacrifices, no more feast days,
  • 00:18:00.669 --> 00:18:05.073
  • No more earthly sanctuary.
  • 00:18:05.073 --> 00:18:07.809
  • However, "thou shalt have no other gods before me,"
  • 00:18:07.809 --> 00:18:11.880
  • "thou shalt not kill,"
  • 00:18:11.880 --> 00:18:13.482
  • "thou shalt not commit adultery," and so on
  • 00:18:13.482 --> 00:18:16.618
  • Were still very much in force.
  • 00:18:16.618 --> 00:18:19.321
  • When paul stated that the commandments of god
  • 00:18:19.321 --> 00:18:21.290
  • Are "holy and just and good" in romans, chapter 7,
  • 00:18:21.290 --> 00:18:25.360
  • He said that he was referring to the law that said,
  • 00:18:25.360 --> 00:18:27.896
  • "thou shalt not covet"-- the ten commandments.
  • 00:18:27.896 --> 00:18:30.832
  • When paul wrote that we are justified by faith
  • 00:18:30.832 --> 00:18:33.435
  • And not the law, he asked the question,
  • 00:18:33.435 --> 00:18:36.338
  • "do we then make void the law [of god] through faith?"
  • 00:18:36.338 --> 00:18:39.041
  • He answered by saying,
  • 00:18:39.041 --> 00:18:40.542
  • "god forbid:... we establish the law."
  • 00:18:40.542 --> 00:18:44.546
  • We're not saved by obedience, but under the new covenant,
  • 00:18:44.546 --> 00:18:49.251
  • Saved people obey god because they love god.
  • 00:18:49.251 --> 00:18:55.457
  • There can be confusion because some people will put
  • 00:18:55.457 --> 00:18:57.492
  • The ceremonial laws together with the ten commandments
  • 00:18:57.492 --> 00:19:00.329
  • So that when the bible speaks about
  • 00:19:00.329 --> 00:19:01.663
  • Nailing the law to the cross, for example,
  • 00:19:01.663 --> 00:19:04.266
  • Someone thinks that paul is referring
  • 00:19:04.266 --> 00:19:05.634
  • To the ten commandments.
  • 00:19:05.634 --> 00:19:07.236
  • But the distinction between the two systems is broad,
  • 00:19:07.236 --> 00:19:10.072
  • And it's clear.
  • 00:19:10.072 --> 00:19:11.974
  • The system containing symbols pointing to jesus
  • 00:19:11.974 --> 00:19:15.210
  • Was to be observed until the death of jesus on the cross.
  • 00:19:15.210 --> 00:19:19.448
  • Jesus nailed this law to the cross.
  • 00:19:19.448 --> 00:19:22.451
  • But the ten commandments are never to pass away.
  • 00:19:22.451 --> 00:19:26.755
  • Jesus himself said,
  • 00:19:26.755 --> 00:19:28.390
  • "do not think that i came to destroy the law....
  • 00:19:28.390 --> 00:19:31.226
  • "till heaven and earth pass away,
  • 00:19:31.226 --> 00:19:33.495
  • "one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law
  • 00:19:33.495 --> 00:19:38.533
  • Till all is fulfilled."
  • 00:19:38.533 --> 00:19:40.769
  • It cannot be true that the old covenant was wrath
  • 00:19:40.769 --> 00:19:43.505
  • While the new covenant is love.
  • 00:19:43.505 --> 00:19:45.474
  • Both covenants speak of the wrath of god,
  • 00:19:45.474 --> 00:19:47.809
  • And both speak of the love of god.
  • 00:19:47.809 --> 00:19:50.846
  • Attempts to create a dichotomy between the god of one covenant
  • 00:19:50.846 --> 00:19:53.915
  • And the god of another are unnecessary and unfortunate.
  • 00:19:53.915 --> 00:19:58.820
  • The covenants made by god with his people
  • 00:19:58.820 --> 00:20:01.123
  • Demonstrate his absolute commitment to saving anyone
  • 00:20:01.123 --> 00:20:05.027
  • Who comes to him in faith.
  • 00:20:05.027 --> 00:20:06.928
  • No matter how unfaithful the people were,
  • 00:20:06.928 --> 00:20:08.664
  • God still proclaimed his willingness to be
  • 00:20:08.664 --> 00:20:11.566
  • In a covenant relationship with all who would repent, obey,
  • 00:20:11.566 --> 00:20:15.504
  • And claim his promises.
  • 00:20:15.504 --> 00:20:17.873
  • As paul wrote to titus,
  • 00:20:17.873 --> 00:20:19.174
  • "the grace of god that brings salvation has appeared to all."
  • 00:20:19.174 --> 00:20:25.247
  • In the new covenant, god says he "will put my law
  • 00:20:25.247 --> 00:20:28.917
  • In their minds, and write it on their hearts."
  • 00:20:28.917 --> 00:20:32.521
  • God expressed the same thing through the prophet ezekiel
  • 00:20:32.521 --> 00:20:35.157
  • When he said, "a new heart also will i give you,
  • 00:20:35.157 --> 00:20:38.360
  • "and a new spirit will i put within you:
  • 00:20:38.360 --> 00:20:41.163
  • "and i will take away the stony heart out of your flesh,
  • 00:20:41.163 --> 00:20:45.100
  • "and i will give you an heart of flesh.
  • 00:20:45.100 --> 00:20:47.936
  • "and i will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk
  • 00:20:47.936 --> 00:20:50.472
  • In my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them."
  • 00:20:50.472 --> 00:20:55.477
  • That's the new covenant experience,
  • 00:20:55.477 --> 00:20:57.879
  • The experience that will carry you through the troubled waters
  • 00:20:57.879 --> 00:21:00.816
  • Of earth's last days--or the troubled waters of life today.
  • 00:21:00.816 --> 00:21:05.287
  • People are worried today,
  • 00:21:05.287 --> 00:21:06.288
  • Worried about, about global warming,
  • 00:21:06.288 --> 00:21:08.290
  • About global pandemics.
  • 00:21:08.290 --> 00:21:10.292
  • They're concerned about the economy
  • 00:21:10.292 --> 00:21:11.693
  • And rising prices and crime.
  • 00:21:11.693 --> 00:21:13.862
  • They're concerned for the future of their children.
  • 00:21:13.862 --> 00:21:17.232
  • What you want to do is lean completely upon god,
  • 00:21:17.232 --> 00:21:20.969
  • The god who said he will save you.
  • 00:21:20.969 --> 00:21:24.072
  • Even when humanity wandered away from god,
  • 00:21:24.072 --> 00:21:26.742
  • He pursued our original grandparents
  • 00:21:26.742 --> 00:21:29.911
  • And brought the gift of salvation.
  • 00:21:29.911 --> 00:21:33.582
  • Today, god offers you that same gift, and you receive it,
  • 00:21:33.582 --> 00:21:39.354
  • Not because you deserve it or promise to do god's will,
  • 00:21:39.354 --> 00:21:43.959
  • But because you surrender to jesus
  • 00:21:43.959 --> 00:21:46.695
  • And allow him to work in your life.
  • 00:21:46.695 --> 00:21:49.164
  • Your life will be better with jesus in it than out of it.
  • 00:21:49.164 --> 00:21:54.403
  • The new covenant is an invitation to enter
  • 00:21:54.403 --> 00:21:56.805
  • Into a full surrender to jesus.
  • 00:21:56.805 --> 00:21:59.708
  • A lack of surrender is the old covenant experience.
  • 00:21:59.708 --> 00:22:04.012
  • Under the new covenant, god offers a new experience,
  • 00:22:04.012 --> 00:22:07.883
  • And you can have that.
  • 00:22:07.883 --> 00:22:09.618
  • Through faith in jesus you can have the assurance
  • 00:22:09.618 --> 00:22:11.953
  • That your sins are forgiven.
  • 00:22:11.953 --> 00:22:13.955
  • "if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us
  • 00:22:13.955 --> 00:22:18.326
  • Our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."
  • 00:22:18.326 --> 00:22:22.764
  • Through faith in jesus you can experience transformation.
  • 00:22:22.764 --> 00:22:28.737
  • "be renewed in the spirit of your mind, and...put on
  • 00:22:28.737 --> 00:22:32.541
  • "the new man which was created according to god,
  • 00:22:32.541 --> 00:22:35.477
  • In true righteousness and holiness."
  • 00:22:35.477 --> 00:22:38.246
  • Paul said that in ephesians, chapter 4.
  • 00:22:38.246 --> 00:22:40.649
  • "for this is the covenant that i will make
  • 00:22:40.649 --> 00:22:42.551
  • "with the house of israel after those days, says the lord:
  • 00:22:42.551 --> 00:22:45.821
  • "i will put my laws in their mind and write them
  • 00:22:45.821 --> 00:22:48.523
  • "on their hearts; and i will be their god,
  • 00:22:48.523 --> 00:22:51.726
  • And they shall be my people."
  • 00:22:51.726 --> 00:22:53.228
  • That's hebrews, chapter 8 in verse 10.
  • 00:22:53.228 --> 00:22:56.031
  • Do you want that today?
  • 00:22:56.998 --> 00:22:59.134
  • God offers you the new covenant experience,
  • 00:22:59.134 --> 00:23:01.970
  • Where he dwells in you and you walk in newness of life.
  • 00:23:01.970 --> 00:23:07.375
  • This is what so many people are missing,
  • 00:23:07.375 --> 00:23:09.544
  • Even people in the church.
  • 00:23:09.544 --> 00:23:12.380
  • Are you willing to take god at his word today
  • 00:23:12.380 --> 00:23:14.983
  • And take the best of what he has to offer you?
  • 00:23:14.983 --> 00:23:17.719
  • You don't have to stay stuck in sin.
  • 00:23:17.719 --> 00:23:21.122
  • You don't have to stay far from god.
  • 00:23:21.122 --> 00:23:23.825
  • You don't have to feel condemned.
  • 00:23:23.825 --> 00:23:26.161
  • You've experienced the impossibility
  • 00:23:26.161 --> 00:23:28.330
  • Of keeping promises to god,
  • 00:23:28.330 --> 00:23:30.332
  • Knowing what you should do but can't do.
  • 00:23:30.332 --> 00:23:33.702
  • Don't be making promises to god.
  • 00:23:33.702 --> 00:23:35.737
  • The new covenant is based on god's promises to you.
  • 00:23:35.737 --> 00:23:39.841
  • He pledges to live his life in you.
  • 00:23:39.841 --> 00:23:43.411
  • Experience god's new covenant
  • 00:23:43.411 --> 00:23:46.515
  • And look forward to a new heaven and a new earth.
  • 00:23:46.515 --> 00:23:51.086
  • >>male announcer: when adam and eve sinned,
  • 00:23:52.053 --> 00:23:53.655
  • A way was established for them to return to the heart of god
  • 00:23:53.655 --> 00:23:56.758
  • And to occupy the position they had lost
  • 00:23:56.758 --> 00:23:59.127
  • By their fall from grace.
  • 00:23:59.127 --> 00:24:00.929
  • God established what the bible calls
  • 00:24:00.929 --> 00:24:02.731
  • "the everlasting covenant."
  • 00:24:02.731 --> 00:24:05.100

  • 00:24:52.547 --> 00:24:54.382
  • Our father in heaven, when humanity had wandered
  • 00:24:54.382 --> 00:24:56.484
  • A long way off, and it sealed the death warrant
  • 00:24:56.484 --> 00:24:59.120
  • Of your son jesus, you came to this earth
  • 00:24:59.120 --> 00:25:01.990
  • And personally invited us into a covenant experience with you.
  • 00:25:01.990 --> 00:25:07.896
  • You did so in the garden of eden after the fall.
  • 00:25:07.896 --> 00:25:10.732
  • And you renewed that with noah and abram,
  • 00:25:10.732 --> 00:25:12.901
  • And abraham, and so on.
  • 00:25:12.901 --> 00:25:15.704
  • And we thank you today that the new covenant
  • 00:25:15.704 --> 00:25:17.572
  • Is still in effect, that you offer us the gift of salvation
  • 00:25:17.572 --> 00:25:21.876
  • Fully and free.
  • 00:25:21.876 --> 00:25:24.379
  • Please, lord, go ahead and do what you've asked,
  • 00:25:24.379 --> 00:25:26.581
  • Put your laws in our minds, write them in our hearts,
  • 00:25:26.581 --> 00:25:31.286
  • But at the same time, we wish that you would be our god.
  • 00:25:31.286 --> 00:25:34.823
  • I wonder, friend, if you would say to jesus,
  • 00:25:34.823 --> 00:25:36.625
  • "yes, count me in; i want to be your servant."
  • 00:25:36.625 --> 00:25:38.627
  • We bow before you and say we are weak and needy,
  • 00:25:38.627 --> 00:25:41.963
  • And we invite you to be our strength
  • 00:25:41.963 --> 00:25:44.099
  • And our wisdom and our hope.
  • 00:25:44.099 --> 00:25:46.267
  • We pray that the god of heaven will work in us
  • 00:25:46.267 --> 00:25:48.470
  • "both to will and to do for his good pleasure."
  • 00:25:48.470 --> 00:25:53.475
  • Lord, the covenants remind us that you want,
  • 00:25:53.475 --> 00:25:55.810
  • That you crave a close relationship with us.
  • 00:25:55.810 --> 00:25:59.681
  • And so we ask you to have that.
  • 00:25:59.681 --> 00:26:01.483
  • Take our mind; take our life; take our heart.
  • 00:26:01.483 --> 00:26:04.819
  • Friend, will you pray that prayer?
  • 00:26:04.819 --> 00:26:06.154
  • Lord jesus, make my heart yours; live your life in me.
  • 00:26:06.154 --> 00:26:10.825
  • Would you pray that prayer?
  • 00:26:10.825 --> 00:26:11.793
  • That's, that's the new covenant experience.
  • 00:26:11.793 --> 00:26:14.462
  • Jesus, write your law in my heart, put it in my mind,
  • 00:26:14.462 --> 00:26:18.199
  • And live your life in me.
  • 00:26:18.199 --> 00:26:19.501
  • If that's your prayer,
  • 00:26:19.501 --> 00:26:20.535
  • You can be confident that you are a child of god
  • 00:26:20.535 --> 00:26:23.271
  • And that jesus will never leave you or forsake you.
  • 00:26:23.271 --> 00:26:26.141
  • He will grow you from here to the kingdom.
  • 00:26:26.141 --> 00:26:27.575
  • Would you make a decision for jesus now?
  • 00:26:27.575 --> 00:26:29.911
  • While we are praying, you can say yes
  • 00:26:29.911 --> 00:26:31.913
  • To the christ of the cross in calvary,
  • 00:26:31.913 --> 00:26:34.015
  • The christ of the soon second coming.

  • 00:26:37.385 --> 00:26:40.889
  • We respond to you now,
  • 00:26:40.889 --> 00:26:42.223
  • And we pray in jesus' name.
