Old and New Covenant Contrasts - 11

Works wrath:

Romans 4:15

For the law brings wrath, but where there is no law there is no transgression

Saves from wrath:

Romans 5:9

Since, therefore, we have now been justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God.

Could not redeem:

Hebrews 10:4

For it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.

Redeems:

Galatians 3:13

Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us—for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who is hanged on a tree”—

Could not satisfy: Hebrews 9:12-15

he entered once for all into the holy places, not by means of the blood of goats and calves but by means of his own blood, thus securing an eternal redemption.  For if the blood of goats and bulls, and the sprinkling of defiled persons with the ashes of a heifer, sanctify for the purification of the flesh, how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to God, purify our conscience from dead works to serve the living God.

  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

Isaiah 1:13-14

Bring no more vain offerings; incense is an abomination to me. New moon and Sabbath and the calling of convocations—

I cannot endure iniquity and solemn assembly. Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hates; they have become a burden to me; I am weary of bearing them.
