Are Christians under a New or Renewed Covenant?

Some of our Hebrew Roots friends suggest that the new covenant Jesus brought us isn’t actually new, that it’s a renewal of the Mosaic covenant. How would someone come to that idea? It’s largely driven by the theology of Torahism which looks for ways to reinterpret Scripture in such a way that shows that the law of Moses is alive and well and binding on all Christians today. So they’ve come up with the idea that the covenant God made with Israel at Mount Sinai has been renewed.

In this video, we address this idea and see how it stacks up against Scripture from a few different perspectives: We look at the text about the covenant in the original languages, examine the nature of biblical covenants as a whole and see how the new covenant fits in, and assess how the renewal of the Mosaic covenant mentioned in the Tanakh lines up with the covenant Jesus brought us. And lastly, we’ll look at the theology of the New Covenant by stepping into a historic moment with Jesus that is captured in the Bible and viewing in through a first-century Hebraic lens.

Algunos de nuestros amigos de las raíces hebreas sugieren que el nuevo pacto que Jesús nos trajo no es realmente nuevo, sino una renovación del pacto mosaico. ¿Cómo alguien llegaría a esa idea? Está impulsado en gran medida por la teología del toraísmo, que busca formas de reinterpretar las Escrituras de tal manera que muestre que la ley de Moisés está viva y en buen estado y es vinculante para todos los cristianos de hoy. Entonces se les ocurrió la idea de que el pacto que Dios hizo con Israel en el Monte Sinaí ha sido renovado.

En este video, abordamos esta idea y vemos cómo se compara con las Escrituras desde diferentes perspectivas: miramos el texto sobre el pacto en los idiomas originales, examinamos la naturaleza de los pactos bíblicos como un todo y vemos cómo el nuevo pacto encaja, y evaluar cómo la renovación del pacto mosaico mencionado en el Tanakh se alinea con el pacto que Jesús nos trajo. Y, por último, veremos la teología del Nuevo Pacto entrando en un momento histórico con Jesús que se captura en la Biblia y se ve a través de una lente hebraica del primer siglo.

    Great job Rob. I also like to point out that in Jeremiah 31:32 the Lord said it it "...not like the covenant I made with their fathers..." If it was renewed - it would have been JUST like it - only renewed. This video is pristine and so helpful. Thanks again for all of your work Rob.

    Thanks for the video. One additional background point that relates to the wording in Jeremiah 31:31. In reference to Peter Gentry's discussion on covenants in Old Testament (Kingdom through Covenant), there are two ways covenants are worded in the Old Testament. One is kārat běrît, which means "cut a covenant". The second is hēquîm běrît, which roughly means "to keep a covenant." Example is with Abraham, first reference is the former, subsequent and reinforcing instances are latter. "Cut" means new, where the latter version is more in line with renewed. In Jeremiah 31, just prior to "new covenant", the word used is כָרַתִּ֗י (I will cut). Therefore, it reinforces the idea that this is a new (not renewed) covenant. The LSB (Legacy Standard Bible), actually words Jeremiah 31:31 as "Behold, days are coming,” declares Yahweh, “when I will cut a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah" to better match the Hebrew text.

    A LOTTA research/work goes into each of ur videos so ty Rob for making this so “crystal!”👍🏻

    You did an excellent job on this topic. Had a friend in Hebrew Roots that wouldn't allow anyone to say God did anything new. He only renews. So blind and closed to the truth. I thank My Wonderful Lord and Savior, Jesus for delivering me out of Hebrew Roots seven years ago!!
  • @pipinfresh
    I'm so glad you are covering this. It's one of my biggest gripes with Torah theology.

    This was positively brilliant! You are a gifted teacher. I am truly blessed today and I thank you. Looking forward to your Ephesians study. I love your heart for those who are being sucked into the hebrew roots movement. My heart goes out to them because I know that within their hearts is to honor the Lord.

    You knocked it out the park. This is something I've been wanting to point out to people I know who use the isr (institute of scripture research) bible for a long time. Thank you sooo much for doing a better quicker job than I could have 😊 P. S you could link this to the verses in the isr bible to prove that the isr bible inserts false translations in critical verses to suit thier own doctrine.
