Do you believe the Old Testament?

What’s Your Question? for June 25, ‘08

I believe what the O.T. says about whom it was given to, and how long it would last. Moses said "the Lord did not make this covenant with our fathers, but with us, those who are here today" (Dt. 5:2). The Sabbath was given to Israel as a reminder that they had been freed from Egypt (v. 15). Solomon said God made the covenant "when He brought them out of the land of Egypt" (1 Kgs. 8:21; see also 2 Chron. 5:10; Neh. 9:13,14). Jeremiah said God would "make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah" (Jer. 31:31-34). Hebrews 8:7-13 quotes this and applies it to the New Testament, the Gospel, which is given "for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek" (Rom. 1:16).
