Zac Poonen - The New Covenant Leads Us To Love God Supremely
Part of Zac Poonen · 302 of 379
Summary
The central message is that the New Covenant shifts the focus from merely avoiding sin (a negative testimony) to actively demonstrating a positive, comprehensive love for God and neighbor. True Christian life, as exemplified by Elijah's positive testimony, requires a deep, conscious commitment to loving God with heart, soul, and mind, and loving neighbor as oneself, rather than simply listing what one refrains from doing.

Zac Poonen - In The New Covenant Our Inner Life Is Primary
Zac Poonen · Jun 27, 2018
The central message is that the New Covenant life emphasizes the inner life over mere outward performance. Unlike the Old Covenant focus, which was visible action, the New Covenant requires believers to be concerned with what God thinks of them when no one is watching. The speaker argues that true understanding of God's ways leads to a deep concern for one's private thoughts and motives, contrasting this with the superficiality of those who only worry about public testimony.
