LIFE IN THE OLD TESTAMENT VS LIFE IN TH E NEW TESTAMENT
Episode 3 of the series
Old Testament is a relationship between God
and man based on man’s performance and
ability to meet certain standards he could not
meet while The New Testament is a relationship
between God and the man that has believed the
gospel based on what Christ has done on man’s
behalf.
Understanding the difference between life
In the new testament and life in the Old Testament is a fundamental way to reign in life. Otherwise you
will live a life that is neither here nor there, not
sure if you have victory or have to fight for
victory. Man has been given Jesus level authority
after the cross that was not there before the
cross. Before the cross, man's righteousness
before God was considered as filthy rags before
God. But after the cross, the man who accepts
Christ receives the gift of righteousness without
works.
“But to him that worketh not, but
believeth on him that justifieth the
ungodly, his faith is counted for
righteousness. Even as David also
describeth the blessedness of the
man, unto whom God imputeth
righteousness without works,”
Romans 6 :4-5
The basis of reality with God has changed,
previously it was based on man’s effort. After
the cross, it is based on what Jesus has done.
Everything now is based on grace not our
righteousness or performance.
