The most dominant of these are the old (Mosaic) covenant and the new covenant in Christ. The old covenant brought forth an age of death, bearing a ministry of condemnation; the new covenant brought with it life, bearing a ministry of righteousness (2 Cor. 3:9). Moses recognized Israel\u2019s stubbornness and predicted the old covenant\u2019s failure (Deut. 9:6\u20137; 31:27\u201329). But he also envisioned that God would mercifully overcome curse with restoration blessing (4:30\u201331) in what we now know as the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">new covenant<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (Jer. 31:31). A prophetic, new covenant Mediator would facilitate this era of blessing (Deut. 18:15), which would include God\u2019s transforming the hearts of covenant members in a way that would generate love and obedience (30:6, 8). God would curse all his enemies (30:7) and broaden the makeup of his people to include some from the nations (32:21, 43; cf. Gen. 17:4\u20135). Christ is the Mediator of the new covenant (1 Tim. 2:5; Heb. 9:15; 12:24), which has superseded the old (Rom. 10:4; Gal. 3:24\u201325), made every promise \u201cYes\u201d (2 Cor. 1:20), and secured for us every spiritual blessing (Eph. 1:3) and \u201can inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading\u201d (1 Peter 1:4).\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"give_campaign_id":0,"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"","_seopress_titles_title":"","_seopress_titles_desc":"","_seopress_robots_index":"","_crdt_document":""},"class_list":["post-4730","reading-plan","type-reading-plan","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/handstotheplow.org\/om\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/reading-plan\/4730","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/handstotheplow.org\/om\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/reading-plan"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/handstotheplow.org\/om\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/reading-plan"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/handstotheplow.org\/om\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4730"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
