Before one can embrace New Covenant theology, they will have to renounce their Old Covenant theology of works, laws and religion. Under the New Covenant Christians are justified by faith alone, works, laws and religions have been abolished and count for nothing,
Ephesians 2:15 also
Colossians 2:14. This is one reason why Paul said,
"The just shall live by faith" Romans 1:17. Living by faith does not include laws, works and religion.
Under the New Covenant Christians will be focused on Jesus Christ and his Gospel, because Jesus is the end and the fulfillment of the Old Covenant. Paul said,
"Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone that believes" Romans 10:4. Without the law there cannot be an Old Covenant. All religions are based upon law. Where there is no law, there is no sin,
Romans 4:15.
Under the New Covenant Jesus has ALREADY defeated sin, death and the devil and now sits in heaven as
"The King of Kings and the Lord of Lords" Revelation 19:16.
Under the New Covenant, Jesus has ALREADY reconciled us and the world unto God,
2 Corinthians 5:18-19.
Under the New Covenant, Christians are new creations in Jesus Christ,
2 Corinthians 5:17.
Under the New Covenant, Christians are not subject to laws or rules, because there is no condemnation for those that are "In Christ"
Romans 8:1. There is no condemnation because there are no laws.
Under the New Covenant, God sees his people as perfect and complete "In Christ"
Colossians 2:10. No laws, rules or religion needed.
Under the New Covenant, salvation is by grace (God's goodness) through faith,
Ephesians 2:8. Plus nothing.
Many are living under the New Covenant, but they want to bring Old Covenant things with them, which is a perversion of New Covenant theolog
