Summary

The speaker argues that many Christians prefer the promises of the Old Covenant—such as earthly healing and prosperity—over the greater blessings of the New Covenant. He emphasizes that the true calling of the New Covenant is to be an overcomer against sin, the world, and the flesh, rather than focusing on earthly enemies. The message concludes by urging listeners to embrace the New Covenant fully and to focus on Jesus as the author and finisher of faith.

Outline

The message in plain words, in the order it unfolds. Select a time to jump the video to that moment.

Why Christians prefer the old covenantMany believers prefer to live under the old covenant because it promises physical health, prosperity, and earthly blessings right now.

The old is better mentalityJesus noted in Luke Chapter 5 that people taste new wine and say the old is better, preferring old covenant promises over new covenant reality.

God's call to be overcomersGod has abolished the old covenant and calls us in the new covenant to be overcomers who inherit all things.Revelation 21:7

Overcoming spiritual enemies instead of physical onesUnlike the old covenant where people fought physical enemies like the Canaanites and Philistines, our enemies today are the world, the flesh, and the devil.

Totally sold out on the New CovenantThe speaker expresses his complete commitment to the new covenant for which Jesus shed his blood, desiring heavenly blessings and victory over sin.

Calling God Father instead of JehovahWhile many Christians sing about Jehovah, Jesus taught us to call God Father and Abba, reflecting a new covenant relationship.

Rejoicing always in the New CovenantThe new covenant commands us to rejoice always inwardly, looking to Jesus who never got depressed or lost his temper over personal matters.

Leaving the old regime behindJust as political regimes change over time, believers must realize that the old covenant is over and step fully into the new covenant.

God's promises are yes in ChristAll the promises of God are yes in Christ, and we must be bold to claim them just as a person cashes a check from a millionaire.2 Corinthians 1:20

We must say Amen to God's promisesJust as you have to sign the back of a check to encash it, God has said yes in Christ, but we must say amen for those promises to be ours.2 Corinthians 1:20
