“Descriptions of the Mosaic Law in the New Testament”

Written by Roger Sapp

The Mosaic Covenant of Law is described by the New Testament as:

A covenant that has been an unbearable yoke. (Acts 15:10)

A covenant that is the ministry of death. (2 Corinthians 3:7)

A covenant that is the ministry of condemnation. (2 Corinthians 3:9)

A covenant that is weak. (Romans 8:2-3)

A covenant that God has found fault with and created a better, more excellent covenant, enacted on better promises. (Hebrews 8:7-8)

A covenant that is obsolete. (Hebrews 8:13)

A covenant that is growing old (Greek: senile). (Hebrews 8:13)

A covenant that is near vanishing. (Hebrews 8:13)

A covenant that is fading away. (2 Corinthians 3:11)

A covenant that produces a mind-hardening and a heart-hardening veil. (2 Corinthians 3:14-15)

A covenant that has no glory in comparison with the New Covenant. (2 Corinthians 3:10)

A covenant of law that Christians are not under. (Romans 6:14, Galatians 4:18)

A covenant of law that Christians have been delivered from. (Romans 6:6)

A covenant that in allegory is like Hagar the slave. (Galatians 4:24)

A covenant from Mount Sinai that creates slaves not sons. (Galatians 4:24)

A covenant for those are cast out without inheritance like Hagar and her son. (Galatians 4:30-31, Galatians 3:18)

A covenant that is only a shadow of good things to come. (Hebrews 10:1, Colossians 2:16-17)

A covenant of law that is not of faith. (Galatians 3:11-12)

A covenant that curses all who practice the Law who fail to do all the Law. (Galatians 3:10)

A covenant of works of the Law that frustrates grace. (Galatians 2:21)

A covenant in which Jesus cannot be a priest and cannot offer Himself as the Lamb without spot or blemish. (Hebrews 7:13-18)

A covenant of law that is weak, useless and makes nothing perfect. (Hebrews 7:18-19)

A covenant that functioned in God’s purpose until John the Baptist announced Christ. (Matthew 11:12-13, Luke 16:16, Galatians 3:16, 19)

A covenant that reveals sin but doesn’t fix it. (Romans 3:20)

A covenant of law made for the unrighteous but not for the righteous. (1 Timothy 1:9-10)

A covenant with four times more verses of curses than blessings. (Blessings: Deut. 28:1-13. Curses: Deut. 27:15-26, 28:16-68.) Count them: 13 verses of blessing. 65 verses of curses. (The New Covenant has no curses only blessings.)
