The New Covenant is better than the Old in every way.2 Corinthians 3 gives the reasons why.First the New Covenant is a ministry of Life — As Paul wrote, “the law kills, but the Spirit gives life.” The end of the law was death. But through the New Covenant, you receive life, Christ’s very life.Next, it is a ministry of Righteousness — Now the law is a ministry of condemnation. But the New, God makes you righteous in Jesus. You are accepted.And finally this New Covenant is Eternal — The Old Covenant was temporary. It ended at the cross. But the New is eternal. Which means Jesus’ promises last forever. Which means you eternally secure in Christ.
