New Covenant Truths

By Nick Bitakis

As believers under the New Covenant, we should understand the truths and principles of this new covenant. We should know that it is a much better covenant than the Old Covenant. Too many believers are mixing the Old Covenant with the New Covenant, which Jesus warned us not to do. In New Covenant Truths, the New Covenant is contrasted with the Old Covenant as far as doctrine, Christian living, and even future things. Hopefully, after reading New Covenant Truths, the believer will be helped to live a free and full life in Christ.

New Covenant Truths

Luke 22:20

The Meaning of Covenant

It has a lot of meaning in the Bible:

A binding agreement or a mutual understanding between parties

A pact (Genesis 15:7; Jeremiah 34:18)

An alliance of friendship (Psalm 25:14)

A divine constitution with pledges

A promise (Genesis 9:12–16; Genesis 12:1–3)

In the New Testament, there are two Greek words for covenant. Diatheke means a disposition, arrangement, testament, or will. The other Greek word suntithemai means to put together, place together, or to make arrangement. In the New Testament, it is a promise or an arrangement made by God to us (Galatians 3:14–18; Romans 15:8). God is a God of promise, and the Scriptures are full of God promising us blessings and arranging a way for us to receive those blessings.

In the Scriptures, the New Covenant has conditional and unconditional aspects to it. Sometimes God wants faith; sometimes He requires nothing. He unconditionally promises us something, and He does it without us doing anything. In any case, God is the initiator, and He does the promising and blessing, and we do the receiving.
