*CHRISTOCENTRIC MEAL* *DR ABEL DAMINA* *THURSDAY MARCH 31, 2022* *UNDERSTANDING THE OLD AND NEW COVENANTS IN CHRIST(10)* *John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.* *Vs 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.* Why is it eternal life? It is because it is an eternal covenant. The gift of that eternal covenant is an eternal spirit. That understanding should make us change the songs that we sing. Our songs must carry the reality of the fact that we now have eternal life. I have life in the son. 1st John 5:11 And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He gave his only begotten son to me. I will not perish. I have eternal life. I take God at his word. Quit having a bipolar image of God. God is not cool in the evening and angry in the mornings. He is not a schizophrenic personality. Jesus is God’s sacrifice for sins. He is our Passover lamb. 1st Corinthians 5:7 Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us: I have eternal life. Israel began on the day of Pentecost. The church began on the day of Pentecost. That Pentecost was Jesus’ Pentecost. Moses’ Pentecost killed people. Jesus’ Pentecost gave life. The church began when Jesus shed his blood in heaven and poured out his spirit. The new testament is a covenant of the spirit of Christ, who is called the spirit of God. Romans 8:8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. Vs 9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. "Flesh" in Romans 8:8 refers to the nature of sinners. Personalise verse 9- I am not in the flesh but in the spirit. They that are in the flesh cannot please God. Being in the flesh is state of being, not a set of actions. They that are in the flesh is the state of a man in the flesh, which does not please God. What will please God is the spirit. Matthew 3:17 And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Luke 9:35 And there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him. Mark 9:7 And there was a cloud that overshadowed them: and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him. Matthew 17:5 While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him. We are in him today. Jesus gave us his spirit. We can say that God gave us the spirit of his well-pleased son. We are not in the flesh but in the spirit. If you are in the spirit, you have pleased God. We are sons of God today. Romans 8:10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness… Vs 14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. What is the fruit of the new covenant today? Sonship. The old covenant produced servants. The New covenant produced sons. We are sons. I am a son of God today. *Confession: I am born of God! He is my Father; He loves me and is NOT angry at me. I know Him and He knows me.*
God interacted with those in the old testament by the law and spoke to them through prophets. He used Moses to bring them out of captivity in Egypt and hence the people held the law and Moses in high esteem and looked up to him. Elijah was said to come again(John the Baptist) hence the people were expecting further leadership through Elijah. Hence both Moses and Elijah where big figures in Israel (both in the past and in their then future), So God had to Change their systems and expectation by pointing them to the TRUTH who is CHRIST. Why I think Moses and Elijah where the ones that showed up with Christ at the mount of transfiguration

You have given us the answer already, that we are modeled after Jesus and not after Elijah or Moses.
Moses, The Law , Elijah the Prophet
What God gives is enternal
Moses is the Law, Elijah is Prophet the and Jesus is Grace
Moses was the law giver and Elijah kept the law
Moses represents the law while Elijah represents the prophets
Moses was the lawgiver in Isreal..Elijah represented the old testament prophet who always turned isreal back to God each time they went into idolatry
Moses represent the law and Elijah represent the Prophets and all they said and prophecies have been fullfied in Christ.
God interacted with those in the old testament by the law and spoke to them through prophets. He used Moses to bring them out of captivity in Egypt and hence the people held the law and Moses in high esteem and looked up to him. Elijah was said to come again(John the Baptist) hence the people were expecting further leadership through Elijah. Hence both Moses and Elijah where big figures in Israel (both in the past and in their then future), So God had to Change their systems and expectation by pointing them to the TRUTH who is CHRIST. Why I think Moses and Elijah where the ones that showed up with Christ at the mount of transfiguration
Moses represent the law and Elijah represent the prophets
Elijah was a major figure of the Prophets while Moses was a major figure of the Law
The fruits of the new Testament is sons and the fruits of the old testament is servants
Moses was the lawgiver while Eljah was the law keeper
