A Biblical and Contextual Explanation of John 3:16, 2Peter 3:9 and 1Timothy 2:4.

[Dan61861]

Our Bibles are divided into two parts, the “Old Testament,” and the “New Testament” because these two parts of the Bible are about two very different “testaments” or “covenants,” the covenant of Law, and the covenant of grace. By grace Christ Jesus died on the cross for all of mankind, but the benefit of that death is individually realized through faith. That is why the gospel is preached—that is, it is preached that the hearers of it, whoever they may be, may believe it and be saved.

Eph 2:8. For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
Eph 2:9. Not of works, lest any man should boast. (KJV)

The Old Testament is the New Testament concealed and the New Testament is the Old Testament revealed

In Christ

Two covenants, yes. Divided, no. The New Testament...the New Covenant is an extension of the old. It's built upon the Old Testament.

Through faith, yes. Where does faith come from?
