“The new covenant is also desirable because it is everlasting and irrevocable. The Mosaic Covenant depended on the ability of the people to keep their part of the contract.” (Volume 10, Number 2, Page 254)
“This difficulty has led to differing answers to such fundamental questions as (1) Did the Lord make one or two covenants with Abraham? (2) What are the basic provisions of the covenant? (3) Is the covenant unilateral or bilateral? (4) When are the differing provisions of the covenant fulfilled in the Bible? The following pages will address each of these questions.” (Volume 10, Number 2, Page 192)
“So here is the tension. In the first part of the essay we emphasized that the New Covenant was promised to Israel. In the second part of the essay we emphasized that the New Covenant is operative and that members of the church are benefiting from it. How does the church get to benefit from the New Covenant that was made with Israel?” (Volume 10, Number 2, Page 267)
“Covenant in the OT essentially incorporates a legally binding obligation.11 It is employed primarily in two ways. Frequently, the covenant represents an agreement between two parties in which there is basic parity. Both sides enter into the treaty voluntarily, resulting in a partnership relationship.” (Volume 10, Number 2, Page 175)
“First of all, the New Covenant really is a new covenant, not a renewed old covenant” (Volume 10, Number 2, Page 253)
