to the New Covenant.
The Gospels are not a “bridge” between Law and Grace
The Old Covenant
The New Covenant
When we confuse the church and Israel we inevitably “blend” law and
grace.
When we confuse the purpose and content of Christ’s teachings with
the New Covenant we inevitably blend law and grace.
Consistent Dispensationalists are the only people on the planet who
do not confuse the workings of the Old Covenant and the New
Covenant.

9. The Core Truths
Relating the Old Covenant A BIBLICAL VIEW OF THE OLD AND NEW COVENANTS
to the New Covenant.
BOTH COVENANTS REFLECT GOD’S CHARACTER
• Understand that the character of God can be seen in both Covenants.
• Both covenants are expressions of the Royal Law. (Mark 12:28-31, Jas. 2:8)
• This is why the Old Testament saint loved God’s law.
The Old Covenant The New Covenant
2. BOTH COVENANTS ARE BASED ON THE ABRAHAMIC COVENANT
The Old Covenant which was given 400 years after the Abrahamic Covenant cannot
disannul the *Abrahamic Covenant. This covenant is still in effect. It cannot be
nullified!
3. ONE COVENANT WAS A TEMPORARY COVENANT WITH A TEMPORARY PURPOSE
Read 2 Cor. 3 & 4.
