Old and New Covenant Contrasts - 10

No inheritance:

Romans 4:13

For the promise to Abraham and his offspring that he would be heir of the world did not come through the law but through the righteousness of faith

Eternal inheritance:

Hebrews 9:15

Therefore, he is the mediator of a new covenant, so that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance, since a death has occurred that redeems them from the transgressions committed under the first covenant.

Ratified by animal blood:

Hebrews 9:16-22

For where a will is involved, the death of the one who made it must be established.  For a will takes effect only at death, since it is not in force as long as the one who made it is alive.  Therefore not even the first covenant was inaugurated without blood.  For when every commandment of the law had been declared by Moses to all the people, he took the blood of calves and goats, with water and scarlet wool and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people,  saying, “This is the blood of the covenant that God commanded for you.”  And in the same way he sprinkled with the blood both the tent and all the vessels used in worship.  Indeed, under the law almost everything is purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins.

Ratified by the blood of Christ:

Matthew 26:28

for this is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.

Law of works:

Romans 3:31

Do we then overthrow the law by this faith? By no means! On the contrary, we uphold the law.

Law of grace:

John 1:17

For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
