This is a basic overview between the old and new covenant. We will be going over this throughout the week. Which will make it easier. Basically for Christians you can throw away most of the old covenant, but some still is around.
The old covenant was run by king Saul, and all his rules. Then at one time King David took over and changed all the rules. Basically the old testament is a preview of what was to come in the New Testament when Jesus came. Once Jesus died on the cross that washed away a lot of the old covenant for the christians. This is when the Jewish became Jews for Jesus. When John the baptist started preaching the bible and baptizing people to be children of God through Jesus. This is the new testament. People saw the old testament as a vision of the new testament at that time. They were still looking for Jesus to come and he was already here. They did not recognize Jesus for a long time. He had to back up and work with people so they would get to know him.
The new covenant washed away all the rules that the old covenant had. This was because that the Lord knew how hard it was to follow those rules, so he made new rules with the new covenant. They are much more simple. Now, for you the adults you already read the new testament. For those who did not should go back and read the new testament, and take the time even if it is ten minutes a day. You will get there. The Lord gave the bible so that you could know the rules about what you should be doing here on earth. I will keep doing a miniseries on this subject for a week, so you will get to know about the old and new covenant. For now, consider this an introduction. There are some part of the old testament you should know, and we will go over them in the next couple of weeks. Now we will discuss the two covenants.
closing prayer; Heavenly Father we pray that this short miniseries will help with learning more about you and get people to want to be children of you through Jesus Christ our Lord and savior. Maybe if they understand some of the old covenant verses the new covenant they would understand how kind and sweet you are and joy and peace they will have. We pray that Jesus will help them understand this.
We pray this in the name of Jesus. Amen.
For those who wish to become a child of our heavenly Lord, or strengthen thier faith, please pray the following prayer below.
Dear Heavenly Father, I want to be a part of your family. You said in Your Word that if I acknowledge that You raised Jesus from the dead, and that I accept Him as my Lord and Savior, I would be saved. Thank you, Heavenly Father, for forgiving me, saving me, and giving me eternal life with You. Amen!”
By saying this prayer, we believe you are born again.
