God's Two Major Covenants, 8/21/81

Summary

The sermon emphasizes the importance of rightly dividing the Word of God, particularly distinguishing between God's two major covenants: the Old and New Covenants. It clarifies that while there are two covenants of service, there has only ever been one covenant of eternal salvation, fulfilled through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. The preacher stresses the continuity of salvation from Old Testament times to the New Testament and warns against confusing the covenant of service with the covenant of salvation. The message encourages diligent study of Scripture to understand these distinctions and to maintain faithfulness to God's revealed truth.
