The Old Man, The Old Covenant And The New Covenant - Zac Poonen
Summary
The speaker emphasizes that Jesus Christ, not the Old Covenant law, is the means by which God's people enter their full inheritance in the New Covenant life. He defines sin as anything contrary to the life of Jesus, arguing that all humanity has sinned by falling short of the perfect life Jesus lived. The core message is that believers must press on toward Christlikeness, recognizing that while forgiveness was available before, salvation from sin and eternal separation from God is achieved through Christ's sacrifice.

The Old Man, The Old Covenant, and the New Covenant - Zac Poonen - July 22, 2018
Zac Poonen · Jul 23, 2018
The speaker compares the Old Covenant to the New Covenant, using the analogy of Moses failing to lead Israel into Canaan, while Jesus, like Joshua, leads believers into the promised life. He defines sin not just as breaking a law, but as anything contrary to the perfect life lived by Jesus Christ. The central message is that believers must press on toward Christlikeness, understanding that the goal is to become like Jesus, which is possible through the grace of the New Covenant.
