Grace, Faith & Life

If we really understand this concept it gives true meaning and interpretation to the New Testament scriptures.

I think, at his conversion, Paul was the first apostle to understand the Gospel of the New Covenant which Christ revealed to him during and after his conversion.

I found a small series of essays by Nathan Rambeck about this distinction, with which I (and Mom) agree.

It is not often that we find someone who thinks like we do. So it is kind of exciting. Generally, people who have been to seminary or people who have been taught by people who have been to seminary do not have this perspective.

Although he does not quite get to my concept of the New Covenant , he does a good job of explaining the difference between Law and Grace and the Old and New Covenant concept.

In the 6 subpages which follow,  Nathan Rambeck shows the impact, in a good way, of misinterpreting this basic concept. His writing style is clear and orderly. Although there is not much other content, there is no indication that he has been to Seminary.

This is what I wrote about explaining the New Covenant in 2012.

“It is not enough to define the New Covenant as a distinction between Law and Grace. Rom 6:14

The real distinction is between Law and Life.

God’s Grace has always been active, even in the Old Testament. Grace is simply the activity of God’s love. God is always active in His creation.(1) The Life given by the New Covenant, however, is an altogether new way of living with God. Gal 3:21 Rom 7:6

The New Covenant is actually unique because of Life not Grace. Heb 9:15 2 Cor 3:6″

I also have notes to write a paragraph explaining how this “Life” works, which I think will be very interesting.

Let me know what you think?

(1) I don’t believe that God directs every circumstance in our life, as some people do.. But, I believe He does direct world history.

If you are a believer, God is always active in your thoughts and decisions.
