Episode notes
Fulfillment Makes The Covenant New
- The new covenant fulfills prior covenants and makes earlier administrations seem old by accomplishing their promises in Christ.
- Jeremiah's promise shows the law is rewritten inwardly by the Spirit so believers obey from transformed hearts.
Law Written Within Believers' Hearts
- God relocates the law from an external ark into the hearts of believers through the Spirit's work.
- This inward writing enables the righteous requirements of the law to be fulfilled as we walk by the Spirit.
Direct Knowledge Replaces Mediated Knowing
- Under the old covenant knowledge of God often came secondhand through prophets, priests, and kings.
- In Christ we know the Lord directly by the Spirit and Word, so mediating offices point to the one true mediator.
