When does God call the Old Covenant everlasting?
What - Tho OLD Covenant.
[
15] See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil;
[
16] In that I command thee this day to love the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, and
to keep his commandments and
his statutes and his judgments, that thou mayest live and multiply: and the LORD thy God shall bless thee in the land whither thou goest to possess it.
Pss 105
[
8]
He hath remembered his covenant for ever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations.
TO WHO - God's children, WHO "are" His PEOPLE.
WHO "are" His PEOPLE "are" ~
Ex 6
[
7] And
I will take you to me for a people, and I will be to you a God: and ye shall know that I am the LORD your God, which bringeth you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians.
Ex 7
[
4] But Pharaoh shall not hearken unto you, that I may lay my hand upon Egypt, and bring forth mine armies, and
my people the children of Israel, out of the land of Egypt by great judgments.
Nothing has changed; The children of Israel are STILL Gods People ~ whom God IS their God.
Later ~ a NEW covenant was given TO ALL PEOPLE - Jews AND "including" Gentiles.
The NEW covenant DID NOT DESTROY the OLD covenant. (that required obedience TO the LAW)
Matt 5
[
17] Think
not that
I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets:
Matt 5
I am not come to destroy, but
to fulfil.
Some ;
remain under the OLD covenant; which requires; God be their God, and they obey the LAW; and keep receiving repeated cleansing and forgiveness of their sins.
Some:
accept to be under the NEW covenant; which requires; God be their God; and provides; forgiveness and cleansing of all of their sin and unrighteousness FOR EVER, by the mans committed belief in Lord Jesus the Christ of God.
Regardless of WHICH covenant ANY man chooses to subject himself TO ~
It is constant ~ God is their God, and the man chooses to SUBJECT himself TO ~
Gods Word.
God Bless,
SBC
