Summary
The speaker argues that many Christians mistakenly cling to the 'old covenant' blessings—such as earthly prosperity or vengeance against neighbors—instead of embracing the 'new covenant.' The core message is that true Christian life requires becoming an overcomer over sin, the world, and the flesh, rather than focusing on earthly disputes. He emphasizes that the new covenant calls believers to an inward joy and focus on Christ's finished work.
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 the old covenant because it promises immediate earthly things like health and prosperity rather than heavenly blessings.
God's call to be overcomersGod abolished the old covenant for the new, desiring us to be overcomers who conquer sin, the flesh, the world, and the devil rather than physical enemies.Revelation 21:7
A personal commitment to new covenant blessingsThe speaker expresses a total commitment to the new covenant's spiritual blessings and overcoming sin rather than seeking earthly vindication or judgment.
Calling God Father instead of JehovahJesus taught believers to call God Father or Abba rather than using Old Testament names like Jehovah, reflecting our position under the new covenant.
Rejoicing always under the new covenantDespite arguments about depression, new covenant believers are called to maintain an inner, triumphant joy rather than falling into old covenant discouragement.
Jesus as the author and finisher of our faithInstead of following flawed Old Testament figures like Elijah, Moses, or David, believers must look to Jesus who never sinned, lost his temper personally, or grew depressed.
Recognizing that the old regime has finishedJust as a change in national leadership means a past government is completely over, believers must realize the old covenant has ended and embrace the new.
Claiming God's promises by saying amenJust as a bank check requires your signature on the back to cash it, God has said yes to all His promises in Christ, but we must add our amen to receive them.2 Corinthians 1:20
