Lesson #2 - THE COVENANT - Printer Friendly Version  - (Here)
Essential to an understanding of God’s word is a knowledge of the difference between the Old and New Covenants.    
All of the Bible is true, but only the New Testament or New Covenant of Jesus Christ, NOW applies to us in this
dispensation or age.  In 2 Peter 1:12, we are told we need to “…be established in the PRESENT truth.”  There is such
 thing then, as PAST truth and PRESENT truth.  God told Noah to build an ark (Genesis 6).  This is not PRESENT
a truth, for God has not instructed us to build an ark.  In Hebrews 8:8, God said, “…I will make a NEW covenant…”
That NEW Covenant is the PRESENT truth in which we must be established

1The New Testament teaches that under the New Covenant, children of God are married to Christ. Romans
  7:4 says that even the Jews had to become to the before
  they could be married to another.  In the same passage Paul shows that no man could be married to Christ
  until Christ was --- from the dead.  This clearly explains that men were married to
  Christ (Became Christians)  AFTER Christ was raised from the dead.  BEFORE the resurrection, men
  were made CHRISTIANS according to the laws of the NEW COVENANT.
  Please read Exodus 34:27-35 and 2 Corinthians 3:6-18.  This shows that the authority of the OLD
  Testament was abolished IN CHRIST, that is the authority of the OLD Testament YIELDED to the
   authority of Christ in the NEW Testament.
