“In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away.”
Hebrews 8:13 KJV
Christ announces the new dispensation to confirm that the old shadow system has been rendered redundant. “This proves that by establishing this new covenant the first is now obsolete, ready to expire, and about to disappear.” This is the explanation of the old covenant’s worth in the new covenant era. Our old life and its old ways of pleasing flesh, the sinful disposition of our hearts, are disappeared in the new covenant. Isaiah had prophesied for God, “Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things do I declare: before they spring forth I tell you of them.” Paul confirms this, “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.” This is the new covenant, relevant to all who are born again and live in newness of life. Amen!
