The bible teaches the most important Christian doctrine. It provides everything a Christians need to grow spiritually. Both the old and the new testaments contain many promises that were made to Christians. However, you can hardly know them if you are not a serious reader of the word. Life has so many challenges that might be very dehumanizing. However, if you are a constant reader of the word, you will always prevail. Furthermore, you will be able to know the relationship between the old covenant vs new covenant.
One you become a constant reader of the word. You will be quick to note that, the former Testament was actually written to the children of Israelites when they were in the wilderness. However, the current testament was written after the death of Christ and mostly is laws are directed to the current generations. It teaches every Christian about the best Christian values that everyone should embrace. It also reminds Christians to embrace one another as Christians regardless of the tribe, social status and political affiliations.
You would also note names of two great men featuring in both covenants. The former one coma with Moses as you would in the scriptures. However, it is amazing to learn that the current one came with Jesus Christ. This is worth noting so that you do not mix the two covenants and get confused. You would also discover that the promises that with the birth of Christ are for the good and welfare of all tribes across the world.
Most people however associate the former agreement with numerous deaths and killings. This did happen a lot especially when people messed with the laws delivered by Moses to them. People had to take care and avoid making mistakes in life that would lead up to them breaking the law. The current agreement however is full of promises of life. This can be attributed to the forgiving nature of Jesus who died for the sake of all humanity.
Some people are of the view that the former agreement was one that brought about imperfection among men. This they say is due to the many sins that they were able to commit without consecration. This is however not the case with the current agreement since the blood of Christ washes away all sins thereby perfecting the weaknesses of men. Instead of sending the sinners away, Christ is able to sanctify and save them with his precious blood.
The former agreement meant that your sins would be exposed and then you would be shunned and judged over your wrong doings. Most people were never given the chance to denounce their wicked ways and repent. Instead, they were exposed to immediate judgment. In contrast, Christ came to cover your sins and absorb you of the guilt through repentance and forgiveness.
Furthermore, you will note that, in the former book records instances of instant justice. If you were caught sinning, you had no time to defend yourself. This was a very wicked way of exercising justice. However, Christ challenges Christians to first judge themselves before they judge others.
Both the books emphasizes on the importance of having faith as a Christian. They direct that faith believes something you have not seen. When the life problems assail and you feel like giving up, you should cling on to faith because only when you will experience the saving power of God
