The New Covenant
Scott Risley
2 Corinthians 3:1-18
Paul writes to the Corinthians to refute the influence of false teachers, who were trying to convince the church that they needed to follow Old Testament law, in addition to faith in Christ. Paul explains that Jesus ushered in the New Covenant, making the Old Covenant obsolete. This means that, as Christians under the New Covenant, we are also not under the law, and have true freedom in Christ.
