More about this book:
What is our relationship to the Law, if we are born again believers of Jesus Christ? This book is dedicated to answering
this important question.
After establishing that the Law of God is good, I show from Scripture that it was never intended to make us right with God,
but rather its purpose is to lead us to Christ for salvation and sanctification.
The Old Covenant is identified as the whole Law given through Moses. The New Covenant, which is the new agreement
of God with His people, is based on grace.
The book shows how the New Covenant superseded the Old at the cross of Christ and the coming of the Holy Spirit
at Pentecost. The two covenants are not in force at the same time, so believers are now only in the New Covenant and
relate to God in grace. This means that God blesses us solely on the basis of our being in Christ not because of any
behavior or merit of our own.
The book will give you an important key for distinguishing law from grace in the Bible, including the teachings of Christ.
This is a powerful tool for understanding some of the puzzling things that Jesus taught. As a result these passages of
Scripture will become clearer.
Our being in the New Covenant, being under grace and not law has several ramifications and implications for us. These
are explained at the end of the book. They include these topics: making the Lord's supper a celebration of more than
Jesus dying to forgive our sins; living truly under the grace system; avoiding sin in our lives by knowing that our true identity
under grace is that we are ones who have died to sin and are alive to God through our union with Christ at the cross and in
resurrection; being preoccupied with Christ not with rules; seeing the errors of the “Prosperity Gospel” and forms of it that
are not usually called it; the gift of righteousness resulting in our acceptable new identity; and motivation and rewards for
our service.
I taught from an earlier edition of this book about a half a dozen times in the last few years, asking for feedback. I also got
a lot of revision ideas from a group of four editors which examined this earlier edition even more closely. This resulted in a
change of title, some chapters, scores of smaller improvements and a new and expanded edition!
This book will be eye opening and helpful to you.
Note: An earlier edition was entitled: Old Versus New Covenant: Accurately Handling the Word of Truth.
