New Covenant Vs Mystery

New Covenant ~ an agreement between God and whosoever wills.


Inaugurated with Jesus’ blood (Mat 26:28, Mark 14:24, Luke 22:20)   




Agreement was made by God only with the human nations of Israel and Judah (Jeremiah 31:31-34; Heb 8:8; 10:16,17)  Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah: (Jeremiah 31:31 AV)  For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah: (Hebrews 8:8 AV)  This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them; And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more. (Hebrews 








12:24) And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel. (Hebrews 10:16-17 AV)

Taught by all the apostles for the first thirty years of Christian teaching The law of Moses is replaced by the unwritten law of faith and love For the Gentiles adoption into Israel (Gal 4:5) or grafted into the nation of Israel (Rom 11:11-33), this is achieved through Jesus Christ  




For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. (Matthew 26:28 AV) And he said unto them, This is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many. (Mark 14:24 AV) Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you. (Luke 22:20 AV)

To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. (Galatians 4:5 AV) I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy. Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness? For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office: If by any means I may provoke to emulation them which are my flesh, and might save some of them. For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead? For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches. And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert graffed in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree; Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee. (Romans 11:11-18 AV)

All that was then required of Gentiles was their repentance, their acceptance of Christ, their being baptized, taking the Lord's Supper and keeping the minimal law marked by the apostles at Jerusalem (Acts 15:23-29).     

Acts 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. Acts 3:19 Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord; Acts 8:22 Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee. Acts 17:30 And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent: Acts 26:20 But shewed first unto them of Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the coasts of Judaea, and then to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, and do works meet for repentance. o Acts 16:30,31 And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. o Romans 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. o Romans 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. ☼ Acts 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.  And they wrote letters by them after this manner; The apostles and elders and brethren send greeting unto the brethren which are of the Gentiles in Antioch and Syria and Cilicia: Forasmuch as we have heard, that certain which went out from us have troubled you with words, subverting your souls, saying, Ye must be circumcised, and keep the law: to whom we gave no such commandment: It seemed good unto us, being assembled with one accord, to send chosen men unto you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul, Men that have hazarded their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who shall also tell you the same things by mouth. {mouth: Gr. word} For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than

these necessary things; That ye abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication: from which if ye keep yourselves, ye shall do well. Fare ye well. (Acts 15:23-29 AV)










Saved people are reckoned as being glorified "Israelites" (in whom He is well pleased) Need to relate back to the promise given Abraham (Gal 6:16)  And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God. The New Covenant legislation of still in effect for those who wish to join Israel and inherit only the promises given to Abraham. Inheritance has prosperity and glory on earth Physical temple has a place of importance Subject and under a King David is king over Israel  The twelve apostles will be kings over the twelve tribes of Israel

Mystery ~ Christ did the works that GOT US saved (Eph 1:4).












The Mystery was not revealed to Paul (and other apostles) until around 63 A.D.  Received for the first time around thirty years after the resurrection of Jesus, Jesus in the flesh did not teach it, nor the apostles until it was given by revelation  The Mystery of Christ (Eph 3:3-5)  The Mystery of His Will (Eph 1:9)  The Great Mystery (Eph 5:32)  The Mystery of God, Christ (Col 2:2)  Fellowship of the mystery (Eph 3:9) Actual son or daughter - more glorious than being a king over one of the tribes of Israel Ephesians, Colossians, Philippians contain the majority of advanced teachings (mystery) of Christ  One new man, new creation, new person (Eph 2:13-16, Eph 5:24)  Ye are circumcised (Col 2:1)  Buried with him in baptism (Col 2:12, Eph 4:5) this is the "one baptism" that counts in our salvation  Crucified with Christ (Gal 2:20)  We are dead and our life is hid with Christ in God (Col 3:3)  Risen with Christ (Eph 2:5,6; Col 3:1)  We are now reckon to be a part of the Deity Himself (a god in whom He is well pleased)  Firstborn ones (Heb 12:23, plural in the Greek)  We are accorded a rulership with the Father and Christ in the holiest place in the entirety of the universe [the heavenly Holy of Holies] (Eph 2:6)  God works in you to will and to do of his good pleasure (Phi 2:13)  Citizens of heaven, not simple citizens of earth (Phi 3:20,21)  No longer reckoned by the Father as either a Jew or a Gentile (Gal 3:28)  New legal status in Christ  We are governed strictly by heavenly rules, not earthly (Phi 3:20)  Sit on a throne positioned right next to the Father - divine status with the Father (Eph 1:20, Col 3:1, Heb 1:3, IPet 3:22) Paul moves the saving power of Christ back to the foundation of the earth (II Tim 1:9, Eph 1:4), even before Adam and Eve All will be saved (God awards salvation at different times), but not all will inherit the Kingdom phase (1Tim 2:4, Eph 1:10 and Eph 5:5)
