Old Testament= Jesus declares in John 5 that the Old Testament is about Him. This means that all of the bible is about Jesus. So what can we get out of the OT. The OT shows us that we cannot attain righteousness on our own. In Exodus 20 God gives His people the ten commandments \u201cBasics of Morality\u201d and yet commandments in its basic form, people are unable to keep. The OT teaches that we cannot be perfect, that we are born enemies of God, and that there will be a Messiah that comes to take the punishment for our sin and accomplish what we cannot. <\/p>\n
New Testament= The New Testament is all about Jesus accomplishing for us what we cannot accomplish on our own \u201cPerfection\u201d. Humanity since the Fall \u201cAdam and Eve\u201d have all been born enemies of God \u201cEph 2:1-10\u201d and this provides a big problem because God must punish evil to remain just. God’s wrath leans against all of humanity and the only way wrath is satisfied is on the Cross by Jesus \u201cIsaiah 53\u201d or in eternal torment in Hell. We must have our hope set on Jesus. \u201cMe\u201d focused Christianity leads one of two ways: 1 Despair \u201cI cant be good enough\u201d 2 Pride \u201cWhy cant others be as good as me\u201d. <\/p>\n
Jesus is the Hero. Your sins \u201cPast, Present, Future\u201d are paid for. Future Grace (Security) gives us the only fuel for genuine obedience to Jesus. Our status with God is based of Christ perfect consistency and not our inconsistency.
