New Covenant Servants

The speaker distinguishes between serving under the old covenant and serving under the new covenant. He explains that the old covenant operated on a basis of obedience to avoid curses and gain rewards, much like parenting. In contrast, the new covenant requires service motivated purely by love for Christ, as exemplified by Jesus's questioning of Peter. True service in the new covenant flows from an inner cleansing and relationship with the Holy Spirit, not merely adherence to external laws.

The speaker discusses the nature of new covenant service, emphasizing that true service must flow from love and result in becoming more Christ-like. He focuses on John 14:12, arguing that believers are called to do works greater than those Jesus performed, which requires diligent study of scripture. Ultimately, he teaches that following Christ means denying one's own will and willingly embracing the cross, mirroring Jesus's life of submitting to the Father's will.
