“by so much more Jesus has become a surety of a better covenant. … He is also Mediator of a better covenant, which was established on better promises. … He has made the first obsolete.” (Heb. 7:22; 8:6, 13)
Jesus came to bring us a better covenant which was established on better promises. The new covenant made the first covenant obsolete, and the old covenant has vanished away. Too many Christians are trying to impose the obsolete old covenant which has vanished away onto new covenant Christians. This brings confusion and bondage. We can benefit much from the stories and principles under the old covenant, but never forget that we no longer live under the old covenant, but it has been replaced by a new and better covenant based on better promises!!
