Zac Poonen - UNDERSTANDING THE NEW COVENANT Part 1: The Seriousness of Sin
Part of Zac Poonen · 121 of 379
Summary
The speaker emphasizes that the greatest miracle God offers is deliverance from sin, contrasting this with the common focus on healing from all sicknesses. He argues that the New Covenant promises salvation *from* sin, not just forgiveness after the fall. The sermon uses examples from Genesis and Matthew to illustrate that sin, such as anger and lust, is a direct path to spiritual death, a warning the devil contradicts by suggesting these actions are harmless.

The speaker argues that the New Covenant gospel is fundamentally different from the Old Covenant understanding, moving beyond mere forgiveness of sins to the saving power of Christ's life manifested in flesh. He warns that the enemy blinds both unbelievers and even believers, leading some to misunderstand salvation as merely forgiveness rather than complete deliverance. True discipleship requires loving the truth found in Scripture and desiring salvation from sin, which is exemplified by Jesus saving people from sin, not just forgiving them.
