Summary of Old Covenant
Matthew 22:36:-40 NLT
36 "Teacher, which is the most important commandment in the law of
Moses?"
37 Jesus replied, "'You must love the Lord your God with all your heart,
all your soul, and all your mind.'
38 This is the first and greatest commandment.
39 A second is equally important: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'
40 The entire law and all the demands of the prophets are based on
these two commandments."
(See Deuteronomy 6:5 and Leviticus 19:18)
Prophecy for New Covenant
Jeremiah 31:31-33 NLT
31 "The day is coming," says the Lord, "when I will make a new covenant with
the people of Israel and Judah.
32 This covenant will not be like the one I made with their ancestors when I took
them by the hand and brought them out of the land of Egypt. They broke that
covenant, though I loved them as a husband loves his wife," says the Lord.
33 "But this is the new covenant I will make with the people of Israel after those
days," says the Lord. "I will put my instructions deep within them, and I will write
them on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people.

20 After supper he took another cup of wine and said, "This cup is the new
covenant between God and his people—an agreement confirmed with my
blood, which is poured out as a sacrifice for you.
Hebrews 8:13 NLT
8 But when God found fault with the people, he said: "The day is coming, says
the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the people of Israel and Judah.
13 When God speaks of a "new" covenant, it means he has made the first one
obsolete. It is now out of date and will soon disappear.

What does Love look like?
Matthew 5:43-47 NLT
43 "You have heard the law that says, 'Love your neighbor' and hate your enemy.
44 But I say, love your enemies! Pray for those who persecute you!
45 In that way, you will be acting as true children of your Father in heaven. For
he gives his sunlight to both the evil and the good, and he sends rain on the just
and the unjust alike.
46 If you love only those who love you, what reward is there for that? Even
corrupt tax collectors do that much.
47 If you are kind only to your friends, how are you different from anyone else?
Even pagans do that.
“Love one another, as I loved you”

1 Corinthians 7:17-19
17 Each of you should continue to live in whatever situation the Lord has placed
you, and remain as you were when God first called you. This is my rule for all the
churches.
18 For instance, a man who was circumcised before he became a believer should
not try to reverse it. And the man who was uncircumcised when he became a
believer should not be circumcised now.
19 For it makes no difference whether or not a man has been circumcised. The
important thing is to keep God’s commandments.
“Love one another, as I loved you”
What does Love look like?

whether we have been transformed into a new creation.
Galatians 5:6 NLT
6 For when we place our faith in Christ Jesus, there is no benefit in being
circumcised or being uncircumcised. What is important is faith expressing itself
in love.
“Love one another, as I loved you”
Law of Christ
1 Corinthians 9:20-21 NLT
20 When I was with the Jews, I lived like a Jew to bring the Jews to Christ. When I
was with those who follow the Jewish law, I too lived under that law. Even
though I am not subject to the law, I did this so I could bring to Christ those who
are under the law.
21 When I am with the Gentiles who do not follow the Jewish law, I too live
apart from that law so I can bring them to Christ. But I do not ignore the law of
God; I obey the law of Christ.

6 But now we have been released from the law, for we died to it and are no
