Zac Poonen - The New Covenant Standard Is Attainable
Part of Zac Poonen · 303 of 379
Summary
The central message is that the New Covenant standard of Christian living is attainable through a passionate desire to reflect Jesus Christ. The speaker emphasizes that this standard requires more than mere knowledge of scripture; it demands a deep, consuming thirst for righteousness, similar to thirst in the desert. He argues that true discipleship involves striving to live up to the elevated standards set by Christ, rather than settling for the comfortable compromises of the Old Covenant or current cultural norms.

The speaker contrasts the Old and New Covenants, emphasizing that the New Covenant requires lived experience rather than mere understanding or proclamation. He argues that if a truth is only known intellectually and not lived out in daily reality, one is still operating under the limitations of the Old Covenant. True discipleship requires ruthless honesty, acknowledging areas where one is not yet at the standard of the Word made flesh, and demonstrating continuous progress in one's walk with God.
