9: Two Covenants

In the Bible, there are several covenants that God made with man or on behalf of man. All of them can be categorized into two basic covenants:

Two covenants: law and grace.

Two deals cut: one with the people; one with God’s Son.

One kills; one gives life.

One is all about man’s lack of faithfulness; one is all about Jesus’ faithfulness.

One shines the light on sin; one shines the light on the perfection of God’s Son.

One was given to bring out man’s sin; one was given to make man holy.

One condemns; one justifies.

One brings sin consciousness; one brings Jesus consciousness.

One covers sin; one takes it away!

(from pages 45-46 of Unveiling Jesus)
