In this episode, Scott Stanley delves into the profound theme of the new covenant as mentioned in Jeremiah 31 and its ultimate fulfillment through the death of Christ. He explores the significance of the Spirit, which was bestowed only after Christ's glorification. Using 2 Corinthians chapter 3, the discussion highlights the transformation from the old covenant of the letter to the life-giving ministration of the Spirit.

Stanley explains the shift from the Levitical priesthood to the eternal priesthood of Christ after the order of Melchizedek, as depicted in Hebrews chapter 7. This change necessitates a change also of the law, signifying the transition from condemnation to righteousness. He emphasizes that Christ's eternal intercession brings salvation and redemption from iniquity, portraying our hope in the resurrection.

The podcast further elucidates the role of the Holy Spirit as the bearer of divine truth, which intercedes on our behalf, enabling us to overcome iniquity and embrace innocence. Through an understanding of scriptures, including Romans 8 and Revelation 2 and 3, listeners are encouraged to grasp the profound implications of the Spirit’s message to the churches.

Join this enlightening exploration of the new covenant as it unveils the truth of Christ’s eternal priesthood and the transformative power of the Holy Spirit, encouraging believers to walk away from the letter of the law and embrace the spirit of truth in their journey toward salvation.
