New Covenant Theology reads Christ as the fulfillment of the Old Covenant.
This cup is the new covenant in my blood.
Christ is the end of the law for righteousness
to everyone who believes.
It is a framework held by sincere believers, not the gospel itself.
New Covenant Theology is a way of holding the Bible together. It says the New Covenant in Christ fulfills and replaces the Old Covenant as the rule of the church. This cup is the new covenant in His blood. What is becoming obsolete is ready to vanish. The law of Moses is not pasted onto the church as its covenant charter. The commands that remain are the ones the New Testament gives, above all the law of Christ. Covenant theology sees more continuity through one covenant of grace. Dispensationalism keeps a sharper line between Israel and the church. This view stands between them, and it is held by sincere believers.
This cup is the new covenant in His blood. New Covenant Theology says that cup, not Sinai, is the church’s charter. Brothers who arrange the covenants differently are still brothers.
This cup is the new covenant in my blood.
What is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away.
Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.
The framework is not the cup.
This cup is the new covenant in my blood.
In speaking of a new covenant, he makes the first one obsolete.
Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.
New Covenant Theology says the church lives under that cup, not under Sinai as its charter. Describe the view. Do not make the diagram the covenant.
