*THE NEW COVENANT*
Hebrews 8:6-13
*Introduction:* It is evident upon opening the Bible that there are two main divisions: the Old Testament and the New Testament.
Although the "first covenant" referred to in Hebrews 8:7 is not quite co-extensive with the "Old Testament", that designation does serve to show that the New is better!
This text in Hebrews teaches us four outstanding differences between the "old" covenant and the "new" covenant.
* I.
The Old Covenant Was "Corporate;" The New Covenant Is Individual*
A.
See Exodus 20:1,2; 24:1-8; 35:27; Deut.
5:1-5; Heb.
12:18-21.
B.
Now, read Acts 2:37-41.
How many people entered into a covenant with God that day?
C.
Was there a book called "the New Testament" at Pentecost?
D.
Can anyone today enter into a covenant with God without "the New Testament?"
E.
Where is the "new covenant" supposed to be written?
(See 2 Cor.
3:3).
* II.
The New Covenant Was Given To Provide Companionship Between God and Man*
A.
From the beginning, God desired companionship with man (see Gen. 3:8).
B.
The "old covenant" failed to bring about the companionship God desired (Romans 1:18-3:9).
C.
The new covenant provides for "reconciliation" (2 Cor.
5:18-21; Col. 1:19-29; Eph.
2:11-17; 1 Pet.
3:18).
* III.
Entrance Into The New Covenant Is Predicated Upon Knowledge of the Lord*
A.
Illustration: Samuel (see 1 Sam.
3:7).
Typical of any male Israelite, he would have been circumcised eight days after he was born, and would thus carry in his body the "sign" of the old covenant.
How much did he know about the Lord at that age?
B.
Before one can become a member of the new covenant, there must be knowledge of the Lord! (see Acts 8:26-39).
C.
There is thus no room for infant membership in the new covenant!
* IV.
The New Covenant Provides For The Remission Of Sins*
A.
The complete remission of sins was not possible under the old covenant (see Acts 38,39; Heb.
9:15; 10:4).
B.
The new covenant provides for the complete remission of sins (Heb.
8:12; 10:10; 12:22-24).
