“ # 7 The TWO Covenants ”

Romans 8:7,8 (AMP) 7[That is] because the mind of the flesh [with its carnal thoughts
and purposes] is hostile to God, for it does not submit itself to God's Law; indeed it
cannot. 8So then those who are living the life of the flesh [catering to the appetites and
impulses of their carnal nature] cannot please or satisfy God, or be acceptable to Him.

Romans 5:12, 18 (KJV) 12Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and
death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:
18
Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation;
even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of
life.

Galatians 3:19 (NASB) 19Why the Law then? It was added because of transgressions,
having been ordained through angels by the agency of a mediator, until the seed would
come to whom the promise had been made.

Exodus 24:7,8 (NASB) 7Then he took the book of the covenant and read it in the hearing
of the people; and they said, "All that the LORD has spoken we will do, and we will be
obedient!" 8So Moses took the blood and sprinkled it on the people, and said, "Behold
the blood of the covenant, which the LORD has made with you in accordance with all
these words."

Exodus 20:1-17 (NASB) 1Then God spoke all these words, saying, 2"I am the LORD
your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.

1). 3"You shall have no other gods before Me.

2). 4"You shall not make for yourself an idol, or any likeness of what is in heaven above
or on the earth beneath or in the water under the earth. 5"You shall not worship them or
serve them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the
fathers on the children, on the third and the fourth generations of those who hate Me, 6but
showing loving kindness to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My
commandments.

3). 7"You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain, for the LORD will not
leave him unpunished who takes His name in vain.
 4). 8"Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9"six days you shall labor and do all
your work, 10but the seventh day is a Sabbath of the LORD your God; in it you shall not
do any work, you or your son or your daughter, your male or your female servant or your
cattle or your sojourner who stays with you. 11"For in six days the LORD made the
heavens and the earth, the sea and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day;
therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.

5). 12"Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be prolonged in the land
which the LORD your God gives you.
13
6). "You shall not murder.
14
7). "You shall not commit adultery.
15
8). "You shall not steal.
16
9). "You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.

10). 17"You shall not covet your neighbor's house; you shall not covet your neighbor's
wife or his male servant or his female servant or his ox or his donkey or anything that
belongs to your neighbor."

Romans 13:8-10 (NASB) 8Owe nothing to anyone except to love one another; for he
who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law. 9For this, "YOU SHALL NOT COMMIT
ADULTERY, YOU SHALL NOT MURDER, YOU SHALL NOT STEAL, YOU
SHALL NOT COVET," and if there is any other commandment, it is summed up in this
saying, "YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF."10Love does no
wrong to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.

Matthew 22:40 (KJV) 36Master, which is the great commandment in the law? 37Jesus said
unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and
with all thy mind. 38This is the first and great commandment. 39And the second is like
unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. 40On these two commandments hang all
the law and the prophets.

1 Corinthians 13:4-6 (NASB) 4Love is patient, love is kind and is not jealous; love does
not brag and is not arrogant, 5does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not
provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered, 6 does not rejoice in
unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth;

Jeremiah 31:33 (NASB) 33"But this is the covenant which I will make with the house of
Israel after those days," declares the LORD, "I will put My law within them and on their
heart I will write it; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people.

Ezekiel 36:26-27 (KJV) 26A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put
within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an
heart of flesh. 27And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes,
and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.

2 Corinthians 3:3-4 (KJV) 2Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of
all men: 3Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered
by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone,
but in fleshy tables of the heart.

Galatians 5:4 (NASB) 4You have been severed from Christ, you who are seeking to be
justified by law; you have fallen from grace.

Galatians 2:16 (AMP) 16Yet we know that a man is justified or reckoned righteous and in
right standing with God not by works of the Law, but [only] through faith and [absolute]
reliance on and adherence to and trust in Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One).
[Therefore] even we [ourselves] have believed on Christ Jesus, in order to be justified by
faith in Christ and not by works of the Law [for we cannot be justified by any observance
of the ritual of the Law given by Moses], because by keeping legal rituals and by works
no human being can ever be justified (declared righteous and put in right standing with
God).

Matthew 26:28 (NKJV) 28 For this is My blood of the New Covenant, which is shed for
many for the remission of sins.

John 15:5 (NASB) 5"I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in
him, he bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing.

Matthew 5:16 (NASB) 16"Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may
see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.
