The New Covenant of Christ:
As we have studied so far, the New Covenant began
when Jesus died on the cross. The following
scriptures were written to Christians after Jesus'
death and resurrection:
"And
to the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might win
Jews; to those who are under the Law, as under the
Law, though not being myself under the Law, that I
might win those who are under the Law; to those who
are without law, as without law, though not being
without the law of God but under the law of Christ,
that I might win those who are without law." 1
Corinthians 9:20-21 (NAS)
"Brethren, even if a man is
caught in any trespass, you who are spiritual,
restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness; each
one looking to yourself, lest you too be tempted.
Bear one another's burdens, and thus fulfill the law
of Christ." Galatians 6:1-2 (NAS)
"For the law of the Spirit of
life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law
of sin and of death*." Romans 8:2 (NAS)
"...nevertheless knowing that a
man is not justified by the works of the Law but
through faith in Christ Jesus, even we have believed
in Christ Jesus, that we may be justified by faith
in Christ, and not by the works of the Law**; since
by the works of the Law shall no flesh be
justified." Galatians 2:16 (NAS)
"I do not nullify the grace of
God; for if righteousness comes through the Law**,
then Christ died needlessly." Galatians 2:21 (NAS)
"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" Galatians 3:13 (NAS)
"Therefore the Law** has become
our tutor to lead us to Christ, that we may be
justified by faith. But now that faith has come, we
are no longer under a tutor." Galatians 3:24-25
(NAS)
