Understanding True Gospel Choices: The Mosaic Covenant vs. New Covenant
“The gospel dichotomy is between life in the flesh and life in the spirit. So if somebody comes to you and says: well, you either come under the law of Moses or you're just being an antinomian- that's that big word that they use to intimidate you. You know, oh my goodness, I wouldn't want to be an antinomian. I am a new testament new covenant Christian.”
Ever felt confused by the idea that you must choose between the old laws of Moses and a life without any rules? In this episode of 'Encounter Recovery Ministries', Rick Peterson tackles this very misconception head-on. He explains that this supposed choice is a false dilemma. Instead, the real choice is between the Mosaic Covenant and the New Covenant of Christ, which represents the difference between living by the flesh and living by the Spirit.
Rick dives into how the gospel doesn't lead to lawlessness but to a new creation in Christ Jesus. He references Acts and The Jerusalem Council to show how these misunderstandings have been around since the early church and persist even today. Rick encourages listeners to understand that the gospel fulfills the law rather than dividing it into parts, making it clear that living under the New Covenant means having the law written on your heart and mind.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone navigating their faith journey, offering clarity and reassurance against false teachings.
