Covenant and The Mystery - Any church or group of believers today who will claim any
of the promises given to Abraham, or the covenants or even the law, are simply thieves and robbers. It is such that Paul speaks of as having departed from him, which means they departed from the truth that God by a special dispensation had entrusted to Paul. So we are obliged to conclude that the covenant and the mystery have nothing in common, they do not overlap, and neither do they have the same hope and time of resurrection. Here is a study from the Truth for Today archives comparing Covenants to The Mystery. Read more here...
 The New Covenant
- The following is an endeavour to set forth as simply as possible what are the prominent features of the New Covenant. In doing this, the subject has been
treated as though it had not been previously considered. Several scriptures, the testimony of which are most important, have been frequently quoted to the extent of repetition, but
we do not feel that a complaint will be made by any sincere seeker for truth. We trust that these pages may be used to lead, not only to a clearer understanding of the New
Covenant, but also to the apprehension of the truth of the Mystery which, during this present dispensation, God is desiring to make known to His saints.
The New Covenant in Relation to the Lords Supper - “And as they were eating (i. e., the Passover, see verses 17
and 19), Jesus took bread (i.e. a Passover loaf of unleavened bread), and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the
disciples, and said, Take, eat, this is My body. And He took the cup and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink
ye all of it; for this is My blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. Here is an excerpt
from Charles Welch’s book “An Alphabetical Analysis” Volume 2. Click here to read more...
Covenant - Israel is associated with a covenant, old and new. Believing Gentiles during the Acts were blessed with
faithful Abraham, but by nature and in the flesh the Gentiles were strangers from the covenant of promise, and in the
teaching of the Prison Epistles, no covenant of any description is known. Most christians are quick to assume the New Covenant applies to them... yet it’s promised to Israel. Click here to read more about the word Covenant in scripture.
