“Old” Things in Scripture

Testament

2 Corinthians 3:14 

But their minds were made dull, for to this day the same veil remains when the old covenant is read. It has not been removed, because only in Christ is it taken away.
Things of sin

2 Corinthians 5:17 

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!
Wives’ fables

1 Timothy 4:7 

Have nothing to do with godless myths and old wives’ tales; rather, train yourself to be godly.

Heaven and earth

Hebrews 1:10-12 

10 He also says, “In the beginning, O Lord, you laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work of your hands.

11 They will perish, but you remain; they will all wear out like a garment.

12 You will roll them up like a robe; like a garment they will be changed. But you remain the same, and your years will never end.”

Covenant

Hebrews 8:13 

By calling this covenant “new,” he has made the first one obsolete; and what is obsolete and aging will soon disappear.

Sins

2 Peter 1:9 

But if anyone does not have them, he is nearsighted and blind, and has forgotten that he has been cleansed from his past sins.

World

2 Peter 2:5 

if he did not spare the ancient world when he brought the flood on its ungodly people, but protected Noah, a preacher of righteousness, and seven others;

Ravi Zacharias quotes 

Life, Spiritual, Eyes

Wonder is that possession of the mind that enchants the emotions while never surrendering reason. It is a grasp on reality that does not need constant high points in order to be maintained, nor is it made vulnerable by the low points of life's struggle.
Ravi Zacharias
