Zac Poonen - In The New Covenant Our Inner Life Is Primary
Part of Zac Poonen · 290 of 379
Summary
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.

The central message emphasizes that the New Covenant focuses on the inner life, which is revealed by the Holy Spirit, rather than mere human understanding or adherence to external doctrines. The speaker argues that possessing knowledge without revelation leads to a life that cannot overcome sin, contrasting this with the experiential faith of the early church. Ultimately, salvation depends on cleaning the heart and inner life, as God looks at the heart, not just outward appearance.
