  1. Old v. New Defining Our Covenant Relationship with God

  2. Old Covenant Stipulations An Overview

  3. Old Covenant • Found in Deuteronomy: A Treaty • 613 Laws: Moral, Civic, Ceremonial (a.k.a. Sacrificial, Priestly); 10 Main Commandments Summarize All; 2 Summarize 10. • Leviticus & Numbers Summarize Ceremonial

  4. Old Covenant Cont… • Sacrifices had to be offered according to Ways and Days as only a “covering” for sin. • Rituals, Tithes and Offerings had to be performed/made in order to be considered a citizen in harmony with the Theocracy — not only a matter of faith but also a matter of duty (ex. taxes with a sacred obligation).

  5. Old Covenant Cont… • Civic laws included personal hygiene & cleanliness, dress, conducting sales & contracts & business, crime, land ownership and maintenance, servant treatment, debt forgiveness, etc. The moral laws informed the civic.

  11. Old Covenant con’s, Cont… • Keeping track of your sins until the day of sacrifice, when you could have them “covered” in God’s eyes. • Severe penalties compared to our culture: ex. death for being a rebellious child

  12. Old Covenant con’s, Cont… • Had to be Hebrew or join the Hebrew Nation. • Knowing that God Himself said the Israelites would betray the Covenant. (Deut. 17:14) • The Law is weak, because it cannot take away sin from your human nature. (Romans 8:3)

  13. New Covenant Stipulations An Overview
