The New Covenant And The Kingdom Of God – Zac Poonen
Summary
The speaker contrasts the Old Covenant with the New Covenant, emphasizing that the latter, established through Christ's blood, is for the church and requires a higher standard of righteousness. He uses examples like anger (equated to murder in the old covenant) and lust (equated to adultery in the new covenant) to illustrate this elevated standard. Ultimately, he urges believers toward continuous spiritual growth, warning against spiritual stagnation despite outward religious activity.

God’s Standard for Us Today is Far Higher Than Under the Old Covenant — Zac Poonen — May 4, 2022
Zac Poonen · May 5, 2022
The speaker contrasts the Old and New Covenants, emphasizing that the New Covenant requires lived experience rather than mere understanding or proclamation. He argues that if a truth is only known intellectually and not lived out in daily reality, one is still operating under the limitations of the Old Covenant. True discipleship requires ruthless honesty, acknowledging areas where one is not yet at the standard of the Word made flesh, and demonstrating continuous progress in one's walk with God.
