From Good to Great
Jim Leffel
Hebrews 8:6-13
The Old Covenant was good because it demonstrated God's moral character, prescribed a just society, and was a means of securing blessing for ancient Israel. Though the Law itself was good, sinful human beings could never keep it. The New Covenant is superior because it is unilateral, does away with sin, and results in an internal change of the heart. Believers today should seek to relate with God under the New Covenant, not the old.
