Two Testaments

Two Testaments.  The Old and the New.

Some have said that the New Testament is concealed in the Old…and the Old is revealed in the New.

But it is important to understand the difference.  You will find practices in the Old that are not approved in the New.

In the Old Testament…enemies are often hated.  In the New…they are forgiven and loved.  In the Old…righteousness is gained by adherence to law.  In the New it’s about grace…and the gift of God’s mercy.

The Old provides background for the advent of Jesus.  And what centers on the nation of Israel in the Old is now applicable to the body of Christ.

But both Testaments are a part of God’s revelation of redeeming truth.
