Some Contrasts Between the Old and New Covenants

Summary

The sermon explores the contrasts between the Old and New Covenants, emphasizing that the Old Covenant, while rich in blessings and laws, could not change the human heart. The New Covenant, prophesied in Jeremiah and fulfilled in Christ, promises a new heart, internal transformation, and a personal knowledge of God through the Spirit. The preacher highlights the grace of God in providing what humanity could not achieve on its own, culminating in faith and rejoicing in Christ Jesus rather than confidence in the flesh.
