THE TWO MAJOR COVENANTS.
The Old Testament records in great detail
the law of Moses, which was given only
to the Israelite nation. Deut 5:1-3; Exod 35:
God's unfailing love was shown throughout
these ages for all righteous people.
The bible explains that the special care given to the
Israelite nation (descendants of Abraham through
Isaac and Jacob) was for the purpose of blessing
all nations with a saviour for the entire world.
We know little of the laws God gave to OTHER
people of that period except that they were referred
to as RIGHTEOUS or SINFUL showing that God
HAD a LAW for them. Rom 2:14-15;.

3
The bible clearly shows that this SPECIAL law
was given only to the Israelites,
was FULFILLED in Christ, and is no longer in effect
after the death of Jesus. Col 2:13-14; Heb 9:15-17;
With the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ,
God gave a NEW universal law and covenant
for all men. Understanding this, is important as
we come to determine which commandments
in the bible apply to us today
2 Tim 2:15; says "do your best to present yourself
to God as one approved, a workman who does not
need to be ashamed and who CORRECTLY handles
the WORD of truth." We need to be like this today.

4
The authoritative will of God, Christ,
and the apostles is revealed in the scripture.
The written word of God is the standard of authority now.
1. It is preserved in written form.
John 20:30-31, 2 Pet. 1:3; 3:15-17;
2. It is written under direct inspiration of the Spirit
of God. 2 Tim. 3:16-17, 1 Cor 2:12-13; 1 Thess 2:13;
3. It is permanent.
It has been delivered once and for all Jude 3;
4. It is complete and perfect as given in original –
not to be altered.
Jn 16:13; Eph 4:12-13; Rev 22:18-19; Gal 1:6-8;
5. It contains the Gospel of God. Romans 1:16-17;
THE TWO MAJOR COVENANTS

5
The important question is:- what part or parts
of the Bible can used to direct our lives today?
We will need to understand the two major Covenants
(Testaments, Wills, AGREEMENTS.)
and which writings of the Bible fall under each one.
We will also have to make a distinction
between the gospel of salvation
and the moral principles
which ought to be characteristic
of God's people in all times.

6
A Testament or Covenant or Agreement
is a statement of the will of the one who makes it.
The covenant must contain specific information
about the parties involved, the requirements and
obligations of each party, and the results which can
be expected from keeping or not keeping it.
In both the Old and New Testaments God specified
the terms and imposed His will upon those
to be included or excluded from covenant.
EXPLANATION OF THE
TWO TESTAMENTS / COVENANTS.

7
Man can decide for himself whether or not he will
accept the terms of the covenant & abide by them.
But man cannot change any part of the covenant.
If one accepts the covenant and submits
to its requirements, he has fellowship with God,
and can expect to receive all the
blessings and benefits specified in the covenant.
If one rejects the covenant, Or one departs
from the covenant he/she once accepted,
He/she forfeits all blessings and benefits
previously enjoyed. Ezekiel 18:21-24; Hebrews 6:1-8;
EXPLANATION OF THE

8
The Bible refers to a number of Covenants God
made with both individuals and with nations.
EXPLANATION OF THE
But in this lesson we want to focus
on the two major Covenants that effect
His people of the past and us today.
We recognise and refer to two major Testaments
or Covenants or Agreements of God with man,
and they are significantly different.

9
By "Old Testament" we refer to God's arrangement
with Israel (the Jewish people).
It is called the Mosaic Law. (of Moses and the
prophets). John 1:17; 7:23; Matt 5:17; etc.
It is summarized in the ten commandments.
Exodus 34:27-28; 1 King 8-9; and 21; Jer 31:31-34;.
It contains the terms of salvation, the activities
of worship, and the laws regulating Ceremonial
and social relationships, etc,
for the Jewish people. See Exodus / Leviticus.
EXPLANATION OF THE

10
By "New Testament" we mean God's arrangement
or agreement with His family through Jesus Christ.
It is a greater and better covenant
than the Old Testament. Hebrews 8
Better law. Heb 7:12, 19, 24;
Better sacrifice. (provision for removal of sin).
Heb 8:7-8, 9:23, 10:1-14;
Better Mediator. Heb 8:1-6;
Better priesthood. Heb 7:11; 20-28; and 4:l4-l6;
Better promises and Better hope. Heb 8-6; 6:13-20;
EXPLANATION OF THE

11
The Old Testament was temporary.
The New Testament is permanent and final.
Heb 9:10; 8:13; 13:20;
The old mainly was limited to the nation of Israel,
(the Jewish Nation).
But the new is universal. All persons in
the world are included in the offer God makes
under the New Testament. Rom. 1:16-17;
There is greater punishment for neglect and abuse
or disobedience under the New Testament.
Heb 2:1-4; 10:26-29;
EXPLANATION OF THE

12
The N.T.
Contains the Gospel of Salvation,
the Activities of Worship,
the Laws regulating Social
Relationships, etc,
for CHRISTIANS Today.
EXPLANATION OF THE

13
THE MOSIACAL LAW WAS GIVEN TO ISRAEL ONLY
- Deuteronomy 4:1-8 "Now, O Israel, listen to the
statutes and the judgments which I teach you to
observe, that you may live, and go in and
possess the land which the LORD God
of your fathers is giving you.
2 You shall not add to the word which I command
you, nor take from it, that you may keep the
commandments of the LORD your God
which I command you.
3 Your eyes have seen what the LORD did at Baal
Peor; for the LORD your God has destroyed from
among you all the men who followed Baal of Peor.
4 But you who held fast to the LORD your God
are alive today, every one of you.

14
5 Surely I have taught you statutes and judgments,
just as the LORD my God commanded me,
that you should act according to them
in the land which you go to possess.
6 Therefore be careful to observe them;
for this is your wisdom and your understanding
in the sight of the peoples who will hear all these
statutes, and say, 'Surely this great nation
is a wise and understanding people.'
7 For what great nation is there that has God so
near to it, as the LORD our God is to us, for
whatever reason we may call upon Him? 8 And
what great nation is there that has such statutes and
righteous judgments as are in all this law
which I set before you this day?”

15
THE OLD COVENANT INCLUDED
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
Exo 34:28; “So he was there with the LORD forty
days and forty nights; he neither ate bread nor drank
water. And He wrote on the tablets the
words of the covenant, the Ten Commandments.”
Deu 4:13 "So He declared to you His covenant
which He commanded you to perform,
the Ten Commandments; and
He wrote them on two tablets of stone.”
TWO MAJOR TESTAMENTS / COVENANTS.

16
A NEW COVENANT WAS PROPHESIED - Jer 31:31-
32 "Behold, the days are coming, says the LORD,
when I will make a new covenant with
the house of Israel and with the house of Judah;
"not according to the covenant that I made with their
fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to
lead them out of the land of Egypt,
My covenant which they broke, though
I was a husband to them, says the LORD.
33."But this is the new covenant I will make with
34.the people of Israel on that day," says the Lord.
"I will put my laws in their minds, and
I will write them on their hearts.
I will be their God, and they will be my people.

17
TODAY GOD SPEAKS THROUGH HIS SON
AND A NEW COVENANT - Hebrews 1:1-2
“God, who at various times and in various ways
spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets,
has in these last days spoken to us by His Son,
whom He has appointed heir of all things,
through whom also He made the worlds;”
Jesus established a new covenant. - Mark 14:24;
“And He said to them, "This is My blood
of the new covenant, which is shed for many.”
THE NEW TESTAMENT / COVENANT.

18
Jesus is the mediator of a new covenant. - Heb 9:15;
“That is why He is the one who mediates the new
covenant between God and people,
so that all who are invited can receive
the eternal inheritance God has promised them.”
We are ministers of a new covenant - 2 Cor 3:6;
“who has indeed qualified us as ministers
of a new covenant, not of letter but of spirit;
for the letter brings death, but the Spirit gives life”
THE NEW TESTAMENT / COVENANT.
“For Christ died to set them free from
the penalty of the sins they had committed
under that first covenant.”

19
JESUS FULFILLED THE LAW Matthew 5:17-18;
"Do not imagine that I have come to abolish the Law
or the Prophets. I have come not to abolish but to
complete (fulfill) them. I assure you, until heaven
and earth disappear, even the smallest detail of
God's law will remain until its purpose is achieved.”
TWO MAJOR TESTAMENTS / COVENANTS.

20
Acts 15:22-29; “Then it pleased the apostles & elders,
with the whole church, to send chosen men of their
own company to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas,
namely, Judas who was also named Barsabas,
and Silas, leading men among the brethren.”
“23 They wrote this letter by them: The apostles, the
elders, and the brethren, To the brethren who are
of the Gentiles in Antioch, Syria, and Cilicia:-”
“Greetings. 24 Since we have heard that some who went
out from us have troubled you with words, unsettling your
souls, saying, "You must be circumcised and keep the
law."-to whom we gave no such commandment.”
REQUIRING CHRISTIANS TO KEEP THE
OLD COVENANT LAW UNSETTLES THEM.

21
“25 it seemed good to us, being assembled with one
accord, to send chosen men to you with our beloved
Barnabas and Paul, 26 men who have risked their
lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.”
“27 We have therefore sent Judas and Silas, who will
also report the same things by word of mouth. 28
For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit, and to us, to
lay upon you no greater burden
than these necessary things:-”
“29 that you abstain from things offered to idols,
from blood, from things strangled, and from
sexual immorality. If you keep yourselves
from these, you will do well. Farewell”
REQUIRING CHRISTIANS TO KEEP THE
OLD COVENANT LAW UNSETTLES THEM.

22
Acts 13:38-39; “Therefore let it be known to you,
brethren, that through this Man (Jesus) is preached
to you the forgiveness of sins;
and by Him everyone who believes is justified
from all things from which you
could not be justified by the law of Moses.”
Romans 3:20; “Therefore by the deeds of the law
no flesh will be justified in His sight,
for by the law is the knowledge of sin.”
TRUE FORGIVENESS FOR SINS WAS NOT
AVAILABLE UNDER THE OLD LAW.

23
Romans 8:1-5; “There is therefore now no
condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus,
who do not walk according to the flesh,
but according to the Spirit.”
“For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus
has made me free from the law of sin and death.
For what the law could not do in that
it was weak through the flesh,”
“God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of
sinful flesh, on account of sin: He condemned sin in
the flesh, that the righteous requirement of the law
might be fulfilled in us who do not walk
according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.”

24
“5 For those who live according to the flesh set their
minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live
according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.”

25
Rom 7:1-7; “Or do you not know, brethren (for I speak
to those who know the law), that the law has
dominion over a man as long as he lives?
2. For the woman who has a husband is bound
by the law to her husband as long as he lives.
“But if the husband dies, she is released from the
law of her husband. So then if, while her husband lives, she
marries another man, she will be called an adulteress; but if her
husband dies, she is free from that law, so that she is no
adulteress, though she has married another man.”
“4. Therefore, my brethren, you also have become dead
to the law through the body of Christ, that you may
be married to another; to Him who was raised
from the dead, that we should bear fruit to God.”
WE ARE DEAD TO THE LAW & RELEASED FROM IT

26
“5. For when we were in the flesh, the sinful
passions which were aroused by the law were
at work in our members to bear fruit to death.
6. But now we have been delivered from the law”
“Having died to what we were held by,
so that we should serve in the newness of the Spirit
and not in the oldness of the letter.”
“What shall we say then? Is the law sin?
Certainly not! On the contrary, I would not have
known sin except through the law. For I would not
have known covetousness unless the law had said,
"You shall not covet."
WE ARE DEAD TO THE LAW
AND RELEASED FROM IT.

27
2 Cor 3:6-11; “who also made us sufficient as
ministers of the new covenant, not of the letter but
of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives
life. 7. But if the ministry of death, written
and engraved on stones, was glorious,”
“so that the children of Israel could not look steadily
at the face of Moses because of the glory of his
countenance, which glory was passing away,
8. how will the ministry of the Spirit
not be more glorious?”
OLD LAW/ COVENANTIT PASSED AWAY
TO BE REPLACED BY A NEW COVENANT.

28
Romans 10:4; “For Christ is the end of the law
for righteousness to everyone that believes”.
WE ARE DEAD TO THE LAW
AND RELEASED FROM IT.

29
“9. For if the ministry of condemnation had glory,
the ministry of righteousness
exceeds much more in glory.
10. For even what was made glorious had no glory
in this respect, because of the glory that excels.”
“11. For if what is passing away was glorious,
what remains is much more glorious.”
OLD LAW/ COVENANTIT PASSED AWAY
TO BE REPLACED BY A NEW COVENANT.

30
Galatians 2:16; “knowing that a man is not justified by
the works of the law but by faith in Jesus Christ,
even we have believed in Christ Jesus,
that we might be justified by faith in Christ
and not by the works of the law; for
by the works of the law no flesh shall be justified.”
THE LAW COULD NOT JUSTIFY.

31
Galatians 3:10-13; “For as many as are of the works of
the law are under the curse; for it is written, "Cursed
is everyone who does not continue in all things
which are written in the book of the law, to do them."
11 But that no one is justified by the law in the sight
of God is evident, for "the just shall live by faith."
12 Yet the law is not of faith, but
"the man who does them shall live by them.
13 Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law,
having become a curse for us (for it is written,
"Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree"),
WE ARE REDEEMED FROM THE LAW.

32
Galatians 3:16-19; “Now to Abraham and his Seed
were the promises made. He does not say,
"And to seeds," as of many, but as of one,
"And to your Seed," who is Christ.”
“And this I say, that the law, which was four hundred
and thirty years later, cannot annul the covenant that
was confirmed before by God in Christ,
that it should make the promise of no effect.”
THE LAW WAS IN EFFECT
ONLY TILL CHRIST CAME.

33
18. “For if the inheritance could be received
only by keeping the law, then it would not be
the result of accepting God's promise.
But God gave it to Abraham as a promise.
19. Well then, why was the law given?
It was given to show people how guilty they are.
But this system of law was to last only
until the coming of the child
of whom God's promise was made.”
THE LAW WAS IN EFFECT
ONLY TILL CHRIST CAME.

34
Gal 3:24-25 24; “Let me put it another way.
The law was our guardian and teacher to lead us
until Christ came. So now, through faith in Christ,
we are made right with God.
IT WAS OUR GUARDIAN / WE ARE
NO LONGER UNDER THAT GUARDIAN.
25. But now that faith in Christ has come,
we no longer need the law as our guardian.
26. So you are all children of God
through faith in Christ Jesus.
27. since every one of you that
has been united with Christ
in baptism have been made like Him.”

35
Galatians 5:1-4; “1. So Christ has really set us free.
Now make sure that you stay free, and
don't get tied up again in slavery to the law.”
“Listen! I, Paul, tell you this: If you are counting on
circumcision to make you right with God, then Christ
cannot help you. 3. I'll say it again. If you are trying
to find favour with God by being circumcised,
you must obey all of the regulations
in the whole law of Moses.”
“4. For if you are trying to make yourselves
right with God by keeping the law,
you have been cut off from Christ!
You have fallen away from God's grace.”
IF YOU GO BACK TO THE LAW
YOU WILL FALL FROM GRACE.

36
Eph 2:11-16; “11. Don't forget that you Gentiles
used to be outsiders by birth. You were called
"the uncircumcised ones" by the Jews, who were
proud of their circumcision, even though
it affected only their bodies and not their hearts.”
12.“In those days you were living apart from Christ.
You were excluded from God's people, Israel, and
you did not know the promises God had made to them.
You lived in this world without God and without hope.”
13. “But now you belong to Christ Jesus. Though
you once were far away from God,
now you have been brought near to him
because of the blood of Christ.”
THE LAW OF COMMANDMENTS WAS ABOLISHED.

37
14.“For Christ Himself has made peace
between us Jews and you Gentiles
by making us all one people.
He has broken down the wall of hostility
that used to separate us.”
15.“By His death He ended the whole system of
Jewish law that excluded the Gentiles. His
purpose was to make peace between Jews and
Gentiles by creating in Himself
one new person from the two groups.”
16.“Together as one body, Christ reconciled
both groups to God by means of his death, and
our hostility toward each other was put to death.”
THE LAW OF COMMANDMENTS WAS ABOLISHED.

38
Col 2:8-14; 8. “Don't let anyone lead you astray
with empty philosophy and high-sounding nonsense
that come from human thinking and from
the evil powers of this world, and not from Christ.
9. “For in Christ the fullness of God lives in a human
body, 10. and you are complete through
your union with Christ. He is Lord over
every ruler and authority in the universe.”
11. “When you came to Christ, you were
"circumcised," but not by a physical procedure.
It was a spiritual procedure-the cutting away
of your sinful attitudes.”
THE OLD LAW CANCELLED OR WIPED OUT.

39
12.“For you were buried with Christ when you were
baptized. And with Him you were raised to a new
life because you trusted the mighty power of God,
who raised Christ from the dead.”
13.“You were dead because of your sins and
because your sinful attitudes were not yet cut
away. Then God made you alive with Christ.
He forgave all our sins.”
14.“He cancelled the record that contained
the charges against us. He took it and
destroyed it by nailing it to Christ's cross.”
THE OLD LAW CANCELLED OR WIPED OUT.

40
Heb 7:11-22; “11. And finally, if the priesthood of Levi
could have achieved God's purposes, and it was that
priesthood on which the law was based,
why did God need to send a different priest from
the line of Melchizedek, instead of from the line
of Levi and Aaron? 12. And when the priesthood is
changed, the law must also be changed to permit it.”
13. “For the one we are talking about belongs to a
different tribe, whose members do not serve at the
altar. What I mean is, our Lord came from the tribe
of Judah, & Moses never mentioned Judah in
connection with the priesthood.
Christ Is like Melchizedek.”
OLD LAW SET ASIDE FOR A BETTER COVENANT.

41
15. “The change in God's law is even more evident
from the fact that a different priest,
who is like Melchizedek, has come.”
16. “He became a priest, not by meeting the old
requirement of belonging to the tribe of Levi,
but by the power of a life that cannot be destroyed.”
17. “And the psalmist pointed this out when he said
of Christ, "You are a priest forever
in the line of Melchizedek.”
18. Yes, the old requirement about the priesthood
was set aside because it was weak and useless.”

42
19. “For the law made nothing perfect, and now a
better hope has taken its place. And that is how
we draw near to God. 20. God took an oath that
Christ would always be a priest, but
He never did this for any other priest.”
21. “Only to Jesus did he say, "The Lord has taken
an oath and will not break his vow: 'You are a
priest forever.' “ 22. Because of God's oath,
it is Jesus who guarantees the effectiveness
of this better covenant.”
Jesus was Prophet, Priest, and King!

43
Heb 8:6-13; 6. “But our High Priest (Jesus) has been
given a ministry that is far superior to the ministry
of those who serve under the old laws, for He is
the one who guarantees for us a better covenant
with God, based on better promises.”
7. “If the first covenant had been faultless,
there would have been no need
for a second covenant to replace it.”
8. “But God Himself found fault
with the old one when he said:
"The day will come, says the Lord,
when I will make a new covenant
with the people of Israel and Judah.”.
OLD LAW / COVENANT BECAME OBSOLETE.

44
“9. This covenant will not be like the one I made
with their ancestors when I took them by the hand
and led them out of the land of Egypt.
They did not remain faithful to my covenant,
so I turned my back on them, says the Lord.”
“10. But this is the new covenant I will make with the
people of Israel on that day, says the Lord:- I will put
my laws in their minds so they will understand them,
and I will write them on their hearts so they will obey
them. I will be their God, and they will be my people.”
“11. And they will not need to teach their neighbours,
nor will they need to teach their family, saying,
'You should know the Lord.‘ For everyone,
from the least to the greatest, will already know me.”

45
“12. And I will forgive their wrongdoings,
and I will never again remember their sins.”
“When God speaks of a new covenant,
it means He has made the first one obsolete.
It is now out of date and
ready to be put aside.”
OLD LAW / COVENANT BECAME OBSOLETE.

46
Heb 10:1-10; “1.The old system in the law of Moses
was only a shadow of the things to come, not the
reality of the good things Christ has done for us.”
“The sacrifices under the old system were repeated
again and again, year after year,
but they were never able to provide perfect
cleansing for those who came to worship.”
OLD LAW SET ASIDE TO ESTABISH NEW.
“2. If they could have provided perfect cleansing, the
sacrifices would have stopped, for the worshipers
would have been purified once for all time, and their
feelings of guilt would have disappeared.”
“3. But the opposite happened. Those sacrifices
reminded them of their sins year after year.”

47
4. “For it is not possible for the blood of bulls and
goats to take away sins. 5. That is why Christ,
when he came into the world, said, "You did not
want animal sacrifices and grain offerings.”
4. “But you have given me a body so that I may
obey you. 6. No, you were not pleased with animals
burned on the altar or with other offerings for sin.”
9. “Then he added, "Look, I have come to do your
will." He cancels the first covenant
in order to establish the second.”
“10. And what God wants is for us
to be made holy by the sacrifice
of the body of Jesus Christ once for all time.”

48
11. “Under the old covenant, the priest
stands before the altar day after day,
offering sacrifices that can never take away sins.”
12. “But our High Priest offered Himself to God
as one sacrifice for sins, good for all time.
Then He sat down at the place of highest honour
at God's right hand.”

49
Heb 12:24-25; “You have come to Jesus,
the one who mediates the new covenant
between God and people, and to the sprinkled blood,
which graciously forgives instead of crying out
for vengeance as the blood of Abel did.”
25. “See to it that you obey God, the one who is
speaking to you. For if the people of Israel did not
escape when they refused to listen to Moses,
the earthly messenger, how terrible our danger
if we reject the One who speaks to us from heaven!”
JESUS IS MEDIATOR OF
NEW AND BETTER COVENANT.

50
Two or more contradictory or mutually exclusive
covenants cannot be in force at the same time
for the same people. Heb 8:13; 10:8-10;
The Old Testament law was fulfilled.
Matt 5:17; Luke 24:44:, then abolished. Eph 2:15;
blotted out ...nailed to the cross. Col 2.14;
and taken away. Heb 10:9;
EXPLANATION OF THE

51
EXPLANATION OF THE
We are bound to God by New Covenant/Testament
and our lives must conform to the commandments
of the New Covenant of Jesus Christ.
Heb 1:1-2; Mat 17:5; & 28:18-20; John 12:48;
1 Cor 9-21; Heb 5:9; 2 Cor 3:6; & 5:19-20;.
Nothing is to be gained by being faithful
to a law that is no longer in force,
or by expecting the fulfillment of promises
that have been fulfilled and /or withdrawn.

52
Which writings are New Testament?
and which are Old Testament?
There is no doubt about the books of what is called
the Old Testament division of our Bible
Genesis to Malachi.
They were written by and applied
to people under the old covenant
that God made with the Jews.
EXPLANATION OF THE

53
There is no doubt about Acts to Revelation in what
we call the New Testament division of our Bible.
They were written by and applied to people
under the new covenant of God with Christians.
But what about the four "gospels"
Matthew, Mark, Luke and John?
EXPLANATION OF THE

54
The old Testament or Covenant was
still in effect during the lifetime of Jesus Christ,
and continued actually until the day of Pentecost
after the death and resurrection of Jesus. Acts l-2;
The best way to classify these books
is to call them "transitional" -- they help
to bridge the gap between OT and NT.
1) They reflect the period during which the old law
was still in effect, but was being phased out.
EXPLANATION OF THE
2) Preparation was being made for the new law :-
and many references are made to certain aspects
of the coming church or kingdom of Jesus Christ.

55
We have observed how the scriptures were given
by inspiration from God and how The Holy Spirit
guided the Apostles and prophets into all truth.
We have observed the different kinds of authority,
the chain of authority, the different ways the Bible
authorises, and the way we must respect God’s
authority in all matters spiritual.
We have observed the major divisions of the Bible
and the need to "rightly divide the word of God."
EXPLANATION OF THE

56
Respect for biblical authority must
be pre-eminent in all our lives.
Respect for biblical authority must
be pre-eminent in all the family of God. –The church.
WE AS GOD’S PEOPLE ARE LIVING
UNDER THE NEW COVENANT TODAY.
ARE YOU SEEKING JUSTIFICATION FROM
THE OLD COVENANT OR THE NEW COVENANT?
EXPLANATION OF THE
JESUS’ CLEANSING BLOOD IS ONLY AVAILABLE
UNDER THE NEW COVENANT.

57
IF WE ARE UNDER GODS NEW COVENANT TODAY.
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
WHAT DOES THAT INVOLVE?
We need to ask WHAT does the N.T.
reveal about MAN'S relationship with GOD?
What do WE need to do
in regard to that relationship?
Jesus simply and beautifully said,
"If you love me, keep my commandments."
