### Bible Study Outlines

Volume 2, Lesson 19
by C.I. Scofield

## The New Covenant

1. The promise of the new covenant

- Jeremiah 31:31-34 - "I will make a new covenant... not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers" (see also Exodus 19)

- Seven ways the new covenant is better

1. It is "better" because of its effectiveness
   - Hebrews 7:19 - "For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did"
   - Romans 8:3,4 - "What the law could not do... God sending His own Son... that the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us"
2. It is established on "better" promises
   - Exodus 19:5 - "If ye will obey." The old covenant focuses on man's actions towards God.
   - Hebrews 8:8-12 - "I will." The new covenant focuses on what God did for man.
3. The new covenant is written in the heart
   - Hebrews 8:10 - "Put My laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts"
4. It secures personal knowledge of the Lord
   - Hebrews 8:11 - "All shall know Me"
   - John 17:3 - "That they might know Thee"
5. It secures complete oblivion of sins
   - Hebrews 8:12 - "Their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more"
6. It rests upon an accomplished redemption
   - Matthew 26:28 - "My blood of the new testament [covenant]... shed for many for the remission of sins"
   - Hebrews 9:11,12 - "Christ... obtained eternal redemption for us"
7. It secures restoration and conversion of Israel
   - Jeremiah 31:33-38 - "I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more"
