Summary
The speaker emphasizes that the first promise of the New Covenant, found in Matthew 1:21, is that Jesus will save believers from their sins. This saving goes beyond mere forgiveness or cleansing, which were available under the Old Covenant; true saving implies a transformation over time so that the believer does not continue in the same sinful patterns.

Christ Died to Free Us From All Fear — Santosh Poonen — August 18, 2024
Santosh Poonen · Aug 18, 2024
The speaker emphasizes that the first promise of the New Covenant is salvation, which is more than just forgiveness; it is the freedom from sin. He urges the congregation to take seriously both the promises and commands of the New Covenant, noting that failure to claim a promise or obey a command means missing out on a divine opportunity. Specifically, he focuses on the command, "Do not fear," arguing that Christians must treat this command with the same seriousness as other moral obligations, lest they become paralyzed by fear and anxiety.
