The document compares and contrasts key aspects of the Old and New Covenants: - The Old Covenant was given through Moses, involving priests continually offering sacrifices, while the New Covenant came through Jesus Christ with His one-time sacrifice perfecting believers. - Whereas the Old Covenant required obedience for blessings and disobedience led to curses, the New Covenant provides unconditional spiritual blessings through faith alone and believers are redeemed from curses. - While the Old Covenant's presence of God and forgiveness of sins involved the blood of animals and yearly atonement, the New Covenant provides full access to God's presence and remembers sins no more through Jesus' once-for-all blood sacrifice

1. Old vs. New Covenant
all God’
Promise

2. 2 Corinthians 1:18-22
19 For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was
preached among you by us—by me, Silvanus, and
Timothy—was not Yes and No, but in Him was
Yes. 20 For all the promises of God in Him are
Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God
through us. 21 Now He who establishes us with
you in Christ and has anointed us is God, 22 who
also has sealed us and given us the Spirit in our
hearts as a guarantee.

3. Covenant Transmission
Old Covenant
John 1:17a For the law was GIVEN through
Moses;
New Covenant
John 1:17b Grace and truth CAME through Jesus
Christ.

4. God’s Presence
Old Covenant
Hebrews 9:6 the priests are continually entering the outer
tabernacle performing the divine worship, 7 but into the second,
only the high priest enters once a year, not without taking
blood, which he offers for himself and for the sins of the people
committed in ignorance.
New Covenant
Hebrews 10:19 Therefore, brethren, since we have confidence to
enter the holy place by the blood of Jesus, 20 by a new and
living way which He inaugurated for us through the veil, that is,
His flesh, 21 and since we have a great priest over the house of
God, 22 let us draw near with a sincere heart in full assurance of
faith.

5. Still in Effect
Old Covenant
Hebrews 8: 13 When He said, “A new covenant,” He has
made the first obsolete.
New Covenant
Hebrews 7:18 For, on the one hand, there is a setting aside
of a former commandment because of its weakness and
uselessness 19 (for the Law made nothing perfect), and on
the other hand there is a BRINGING IN of a better hope,
through which we draw near to God.

6. Qualification
Old Covenant
Deut 28:1 If you fully obey the Lord your God and carefully follow all his
commands I give you today, the Lord your God will set you high above all
the nations on earth. 2 All these blessings will come on you and
accompany you if you obey the Lord your God…
New Covenant
Romans 10:4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to
everyone who believes.
Ephesians 2:8
For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of
yourselves, it is the gift of God;

7. Sin
Old Covenant
Hebrews 10:3 But in those sacrifices there is a
reminder of sins year by year. 4 For it is impossible for
the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.
New Covenant
Hebrews 10:17 “And their sins and their lawless
deeds I will remember no more.” 18 Now where
there is forgiveness of these things, there is no longer
any offering for sin.

8. Perfection
Old Covenant
Hebrews 7:19 For the Law made nothing perfect.
New Covenant
Hebrews 10:14 For by one offering He has
perfected for all time those who are sanctified.

9. Blood
Old Covenant
Hebrews 9:19 For when every commandment had been spoken by Moses
to all the people according to the Law, he took the blood of the calves
and the goats, with water and scarlet wool and hyssop, and sprinkled
both the book itself and all the people, 20 saying, “This is the blood of
the covenant which God commanded you.” 21 And in the same way he
sprinkled both the tabernacle and all the vessels of the ministry with the
blood. 22 And according to the Law, one may almost say, all things are
cleansed with blood, and without shedding of blood there is no
forgiveness.
Exodus 24:8 So Moses took the blood and sprinkled it on the people, and
said, “Behold the blood of the covenant, which the Lord has made with
you in accordance with all these words.”

10. Blood
New Covenant
Hebrews 9:11 But when Christ appeared as a high priest of the good
things to come, He entered through the greater and more perfect
tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this creation; 12
and not through the blood of goats and calves, but through His own
blood, He entered the holy place once for all, having obtained eternal
redemption. 13 For if the blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a
heifer sprinkling those who have been defiled sanctify for the cleansing of
the flesh, 14 how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the
eternal Spirit offered Himself without blemish to God, cleanse your
conscience from dead works to serve the living God?
Luke 22:20 And in the same way He took the cup after they had eaten,
saying, “This cup which is poured out for you is the NEW COVENANT in
MY BLOOD”.

11. Sacrifice Frequency
Old Covenant
Hebrews 10:1 For the Law, since it has only a shadow of the
good things to come and not the very form of things, can
never, by the same sacrifices which they offer
CONTINUALLY year by year, make perfect those who draw
near. 2 Otherwise, would they not have ceased to be
offered, because the worshipers, having once been
cleansed, would no longer have had consciousness of sins?
New Covenant
Hebrews 10:12 But He, having offered ONE sacrifice for sins
FOR ALL TIME, sat down at the right hand of God.

12. Blessings
Old Covenant
Deut 28:2 All these blessings will come upon you and
overtake you if you obey the Lord your God:
3 Blessed shall you be in the city, and blessed shall you be in
the country. 4 Blessed shall be the offspring of your body
and the produce of your ground and the offspring of your
beasts, the increase of your herd and the young of your
flock. 5 Blessed shall be your basket and your kneading
bowl. 6 Blessed shall you be when you come in, and blessed
shall you be when you go out.

13. Blessings
New Covenant
Ephesian 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our
Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every
spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, 4
just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of
the world, that we would be holy and blameless
before Him.
2 Corinthians 1:20 For as many as are the promises of
God, in Him they are yes; therefore also through Him
is our Amen to the glory of God through us.

14. Curses
Old Covenant
Deut 28:15 But it shall come about, if you do not obey the Lord your God,
to observe to do all His commandments and His statutes with which I
charge you today, that all these curses will come upon you and overtake
you: 16 Cursed shall you be in the city, and cursed shall you be in the
country. 17 Cursed shall be your basket and your kneading bowl. 18
Cursed shall be the offspring of your body and the produce of your
ground, the increase of your herd and the young of your flock. 19 Cursed
shall you be when you come in, and cursed shall you be when you go out.
Galatians 3:10 For as many as are of the works of the Law are under a
curse; for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who does not abide by ALL
things written in the book of the law, to perform them.”

15. Curses
New Covenant
Galatians 3:13 Christ 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”.

16. Covenants
1. WHO ARE PARTIES INVOLVED? WHO IS THE
INITIATOR? (Initiate: cause beginning of, take first
step)
2. WHAT IS THE REASON FOR COVENANT?
3. IS THERE A PROMISE OR OATH?
4. IS THERE A SIGN OR WITNESS? IS THERE A MEAL,
AN ALTAR or A NAME CHANGE? IS THERE A
SACRIFICE?
5. WHAT IS THE LENGTH OF THE COVENANT? ARE
OFFSPRING AFFECTED?
