The New Covenant was promised by God through the prophets in the Old Testament. The New Covenant promised to those who would be the people of God a new spirit and a new heart with cleansing from within of all spiritual defilement. This New Covenant is later revealed to be a ministry of the Holy Spirit of God that is life-giving and life-changing. Being divinely empowered and effected by the Spirit through the Word of God this becomes the divine means of making adequate those who are saved to serve the Lord as He so wills. The responsibility of the people of God is to be faithful with the truth of God in living it out and giving it out. There is often confusion of the Old Covenant also known as the Mosaic Law and the ministry of the Holy Spirit through the New Covenant. Efforts to bridge the gap between the two covenants leads to a corruption of the Gospel which serves to compromise the life-saving power of the Gospel. Scripture makes clear there is no middle ground between the Law written on tablets of stone that killed and the New Covenant ministry of the Spirit inscribing the Word of God on the heart of the child of God. The New Covenant is God's provision of the righteousness required to be in a personal relationship with Him and be granted citizenship status in heaven.

“ Great Sermon! ” Unofficial observation ¶The most important thing going on in the world today has nothing to do with politics, terrorism, etc., but the presentation of the message of salvation by Jesus Christ! We have the honor and privilege of doing the most important thing in the world -- giving the message of salvation that comes through Jesus Christ. ¶Our weak appearance and speech are not important but the message we present has the power to change lives. The apostle Paul's life should be an example to us that it's the message and not we that will impress people. ¶There is no middle ground for compromise with religions, such as Judaism, Islam, or Catholicism that don't believe in only in the grace which only comes by Christ. It's not how much we agree on, but what we don't agree on! They are all wrong! Christians are narrow minded, because the Spirit gives life but the Letter kills. The New Covenant means we can't join with Roman Catholics (29:18 min into the sermon) who say they modeled their priesthood on the Old Testament Aaronic one. They have a system of priests with Pope being the high priest. They offer the false sacrifice of the Mass. They say that salvation by faith alone is an anathema; this makes them an anathema to God! They have a ministry of death; we have a ministry of life!
