The Blessing of the New Covenant Is the Nearness of God -- Santosh Poonen -- December 17, 2023
Summary
The central message is that the true understanding of God's love is rooted in the 'fear of the Lord,' which is the beginning of wisdom. The speaker argues that this foundational fear allows one to properly understand the depth of God's love and the necessity of Christ's sacrifice. Furthermore, the New Covenant signifies a radical shift where God promises to be near to His people, unlike the distance maintained under the Old Covenant.

Understanding the New Covenant — Zac Poonen — May 3, 2023
Zac Poonen · May 7, 2023
The speaker urges Christians to read the Word of God carefully and take sin and reverence for Christ seriously, warning against becoming too familiar with Jesus. He emphasizes that true discipleship requires a foundation of the 'fear of God' before fully embracing grace, comparing this to a child who appreciates a king's favor after years of poverty. The central message is to live with deep reverence, humility, and a serious commitment to one's calling, understanding the profound gifts of the New Covenant.
