Let the Bible Speak

The New Covenant that was established through Jesus Christ is not only better in its very nature but in what it provides. In this broadcast of Let the Bible Speak we continue our study of the New and Better Covenant and why it is folly to attempt to live under the Old Agreement.

The bible reveals several covenants God has made with man at various times. Of these, two are particularly far-reaching in their scope. The Old Covenant was established through Moses with the ancient Jews. It was a fleshly covenant. The prophet Jeremiah pointed to a time, however, when God would establish a new covenant with spiritual Israel through Jesus Christ. Instead of being fleshly, it is spiritual. Jews were born into the covenant by essence of their physical birth and subsequent circumcision. God’s people would be born into the second covenant by means of a second birth and they would receive a circumcision of the heart. In part one of a two-part lesson we learn about The New and Better Covenant.

The smallest words can be the most important ones. All scripture is inspired of God and represents the words the Spirit guided the apostles to write to communicate the mind of God to us. This fact makes each word significant. This is especially true in regard to the propositions chosen by the Spirit of God to describe the relationships of men and women to Christ Jesus. Even two letters can make the difference of how our life here is lived and where we will spend eternity. Which ones describe your present relationship to Him? In this broadcast of Let the Bible Speak, we learn about some of the Prepositions of Christ.

Real reasons or empty excuses? One of the oldest habits of mankind is to justify decisions and actions that would otherwise meet with disapproval. Jesus knew that His kingdom offer would be met with rejection and illustrated the fact with a story about people who were invited to a great supper. Their cold rejection of the gracious invitation was softened by the excuses they all began to make. The master’s response was a warning to all who make excuses for not doing the will of God even today.

Many have suggested that every Christian is an ambassador of Jesus Christ and represents the Lord before the unbelieving world. The Apostle Paul had something else in mind when he said to the Corinthian church that “ambassadors for Christ” were entrusted with the “ministry of reconciliation.” In this broadcast of Let the Bible Speak, we learn the significance of both phrases and how they actually relate to we who were lost in our sins.
