WE HAVE A BETTER COVENANT BECAUSE The old covenant was written with ink while the new covenant is written with the spirit of God

“…being manifested that you are a letter of Christ, cared for by us, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts.” (2 Cor 3:3 NASB)

 

  • The old covenant had an earthly tabernacle while the new covenant has a heavenly tabernacle

Old: “There were two rooms in that Tabernacle. In the first room were a lampstand, a table, and sacred loaves of bread on the table. This room was called the Holy Place.” (Heb. 9:2 NLT)

New: “There he ministers in the heavenly Tabernacle, the true place of worship that was built by the Lord and not by human hands.” (Heb. 8:2 NLT)

  • The old covenant was fulfilled while the new covenant is now in force 

“Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish but to fulfill. For truly I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or stroke shall pass from the Law until all is accomplished.” (Mat. 5:17-18 NASB)

“But in fact the ministry Jesus has received is as superior to theirs as the covenant of which he is mediator is superior to the old one, since the new covenant is established on better promises. (Heb. 8:6 NIV)

“Then he said, “Look, I have come to do your will.” He cancels the first covenant in order to put the second into effect.”

(Heb. 10:9 NLT)
