A Better Deal
Scott Risley
Hebrews 8:1-13
We learn about four covenants God made with His people: Abrahamic, Davidic, Mosaic (the Old Covenant), and lastly, the New Covenant. The Old Covenant was only a shadow of the covenant to come?the New Covenant. Under the Old Covenant, we were bound to the law. But when God established the New Covenant, He also initiated a new way of relating to His people?through a relationship. Unfortunately, many people today still place themselves under the Old Covenant; they are stuck in ritualism, even though the New Covenant makes the Old Covenant obsolete. The New Covenant established a new way to be reconciled with God through grace.
