The Two Testaments
Larry O. Grounds
In the study of the Bible, it is
very important that one rightly
divide the word of truth. (2 Tim.
2:15) If confusion is to be avoid
ed in the study of the Bible,
three things must, be applied to
the study. They are namely:
1. The Bible must be studied
reverently or prayerfully with
a zeal to know the Truth
(Acts 17:11)
2. It must be studied logically
or with the understanding
(Col 2:2)
3. It must he studied with con
fidence. Too long the people
have been made to believe
that they are unable to un
derstand the Bible. In fact
people can not only under
stand the Bible, but they can
understand it alike. 1 Cor
1:10).
God has made TWO covenants
or testaments with men: the
FIRST or OLD TESTAMENT was
made with the Jewish Nation
1491 B. C. at Mount Sinai in Ar
abia. (Gal 4:24) It was never giv
en to the Gentiles nor were thev
ever bound by it. Moses stated
that it was not given to anyone
else but to the Jews (Deut. 5:3)
The SECOND or NEW TESTA
MENT was made with all nations
33 A.D. at Jerusalem in Pales
tine. (Acts 2:1-7) The New Cove
nant is the one under which we
now live. Both of these TESTA
MENTS were sealed with blood
(Heb. 9:12-21). Neither of these
were in force until they were
sealed or dedicated in this man
ner. (Heb 9:16)
The Savior was horn under the
LAW: (Gal 4:4) The Old Testa
ment is often referred to as the
LAW for it was given by Moses.
(John 1:17). Being born under the
LAW, he kept the Law: however,
this TESTAMENT or LAW ended
when the “veil of the temple was
rent in two from the top to the
bottom" and this happened at the
death of Christ on the cross.
'Math 27:51) Hence, He nailed
the OLD Testament to the cross.
(Col 2:14). having abolished in
His flesh the Law of COMMAND
ments contained in ordinances:
'Eph 2:14-16), preparatory to giv
ing the NEW TESTAMENT to
I “all nations.”
Thus Jesus entered the portals
of Heaven and there appeared be
fore God with his own blood,
j which he offered for our eternal
|i\demption. (Heb. 9:17). Further
more. the OLD TESTAMENT was
I abolished to make way for a
NEW and BETTER TESTAMENT
enacted on better promises. (Heb.
H:(>17) If the FIRST or the OLD
had he. n faultless, there would
no place have been sought for a
SECOND. But finding fault with
the FIRST He said. "I will make
a NEW COVENANT.” (Heb. 8:7-8i
In that He saith. a NEW COVE
NANT, He hath made the FIRST
old. But that which is becoming
old and waxeth aged is nigh unto
vanishing AWAY. (Heb. 8:13 >
Therefore since the OLD COVE
NANT or TESTAMENT has VAN
ISHED AWAY, Christ is the med
iator of a NEW Covenant or Tes
tament. (Heh. 9:15>
There are some, however, who
contend that they must keep
both NEW and OLD TESTA
MENTS. This even on the face is
absurd as it is impossible for a
person to he under TWO TESTA
MENTS at the same time. But
the question arises, "Why do you
study the OLD TESTAMENT?"
It has hoen preserved that we
may study the examples therein
We. knowing how (loci dealt with
*Iiis people then may better serve
HIM and not fall into the snnu
mistakes . <Cor. 10:111 (Rotn.l5:4i
| But we no longer hear MOSES,
but CHRIST (Math 17:5: Heb 1:2b
Now you that would he under
, the OLD TESTAMENT or LAW
hear the following:
■ai "We are not under the
LAW." (Rom (>: 14: Gal .=>: 1B» <b'
“We were made dead to the
Law. iRom 7:1* (o' "We have
been discharged from the LAW."
having died to that wherein we
were held." < Roni Lite (dl Christ
is the END of the LAW (Rom
10:4'. In the form of a proposi
tion or Syllogism we have:
1. Wherefore the Law is become
our TUTOR Gal. 3:24'
2. But we are no longer under
a TUTOR."(Gal. 3:25)
3. Therefore, we are no longer
under the LAW
Tf th ■ above is true, then no
man can be justified or saved as
those who were under the LAW,
and those who so teach have
fallen away from grace. (Gal. ,:4)
We are justified or saved' under
I he system of grace and truth giv
en by Christ. (Jno. 1:17), which
is the NEW TESTAMENT,
