00:00:16.360 and gospel of Jesus Christ. Help us press forward the crown rights of King Jesus by leaving us a
00:00:23.480 five-star review on your favorite podcast platform. Thanks.
00:00:27.500 there's a new covenant it's the only saving covenant yes and amen a thousand times the church
00:00:33.760 not america but the church replaces israel only the church it's a holy nation entrance into this
00:00:41.460 covenant is faith alone yes and amen a thousand times and are there other covenants yes can you
00:00:49.060 start a business and even in your bylaws with the business have christian language even quoting
00:00:56.080 scripture this business exists for the glory of god and and start each day with your employees
00:01:04.120 with a word and prayer and practice christian principles of integrity and say this exists to
00:01:11.040 the glory of god and will god recognize that will god bless that yeah i think so ordinarily as as a
00:01:20.840 Guarantee? No. But ordinarily, as a general principle that more often than not rings true?
00:01:25.920 Yes. Let me give you a couple other examples. I'm laboring this point because we are anemic
00:01:32.440 on this theological area. Another example would be children. The Apostle Paul in Ephesians 6,
00:01:39.740 he restates the command and he restates without equivocation the promise. And he behaves,
00:01:47.400 now remember the timeline. This is after the life, death, burial, resurrection, and ascension
00:01:52.700 of the Lord Jesus Christ. And the Apostle Paul behaves, he assumes, as though both the commandment
00:01:59.920 and its promise regarding children is just as good as it was in the Old Testament, the command
00:02:06.740 that he's actually quoting. In the Old Testament, in the Decalogue, Exodus chapter 20, the fifth
00:02:13.060 commandment is that children should honor their father and mother. And this is the first commandment
00:02:17.340 with a promise that it may go well with them that they would live a long life in the land.
00:02:22.320 Then in Ephesians 6, Paul restates the commandment. Children, obey your parents and the Lord for this
00:02:28.300 is right. And then, of course, he qualifies and disclaims and says, but the promise isn't good
00:02:35.380 anymore because this is the New Testament and now we're Gnostics and everything physical and
00:02:39.260 tangible and temporal is of no account to God whatsoever. The only thing that matters is faith.
00:02:43.500 And so if you have faith in Jesus Christ, personally, you will be saved. If you obey
00:02:47.300 your children, you'll probably die. Or obey your parents, you'll probably die. No, that's not what 1.00
00:02:51.600 he says. All right, I'm being facetious. What he actually says is, children, obey your parents in
00:02:55.840 the Lord, for this is right, and it is the first commandment with a promise, assuming the promise
00:03:00.220 is still good, that you may live a long life in the earth. Again, not a 100% guarantee, but it is
00:03:07.040 a general principle. More often than not, it comes to pass. And it doesn't actually have to do with
00:03:13.920 the new covenant. This is separate. It's separate. The new covenant, the only entrance is faith,
00:03:19.860 saving faith in Jesus, and the blessing is eternal life. But in the instance of children
00:03:27.380 obeying parents, a child can be obedient to their parents without actually being regenerate,
00:03:32.980 without actually being saved.
00:03:35.580 And an obedient child, even an unbelieving obedient child
00:03:39.600 who is obedient to their parents ordinarily 0.82
00:03:42.420 will do better in life and live a longer life
00:03:46.480 than their rebellious peers.
00:03:48.940 If you have two children
00:03:50.340 and one is rebellious to their parents,
00:03:52.860 the first human authority given to them in their life.
00:03:56.720 And out of that, they become rebellious
00:03:59.120 to all other authorities.
00:04:00.360 their life is going to be challenging their life is generally going to be difficult
00:04:07.660 and if they're extremely rebellious their life may literally in a physical sense be cut short
00:04:15.280 because of their rebellion they could commit some kind of crime
00:04:21.280 be arrested it may be a crime that merits the death penalty or it could just be in their
00:04:27.900 rebellion. They give themselves over to substance abuse and drugs and alcohol and these kinds of
00:04:33.260 things and get behind, God forbid, the wheel of a car and end their life. So in general, this promise
00:04:41.740 is still true. Again, my point is this. In the New Testament, you still have covenants besides
00:04:49.920 merely the new covenant. New covenant is superior. New covenant is unique. New covenant is eternal.
00:04:57.460 Entrance to the new covenant is exclusively faith.
00:05:00.780 The new covenant is the exclusive covenant that is eternally saving.
00:05:05.680 All those things being said, there are still other covenants in life.
