We have taken verses here and there from the writings of Paul and have constructed a "plan of salvation" that does not fit the bulk of the text from the Gospels to the Book of Revelation.

You may say to me that the new covenant is for the Jews and our way of salvation is for the Gentiles. I know this is preached today, that there are two different plans of salvation, one for the Jews and one for the Gentiles. But the two-plan, two-kingdom concept is unscriptural. It is against what Paul taught. It comes from the wretched Dispensational philosophy, not from the Apostles of the Lamb.

There is only one new covenant. It always is for the House of Israel and the House of Judah. The Christian salvation always is for the Jews, and after that to Gentiles who have been grafted into the one true Vine. All who belong to Jesus Christ are the one Seed of Abraham.

If a Gentile is not of the House of Israel through the Lord Jesus Christ he cannot be part of the new covenant. And there is no other plan of salvation.

The reason God gave a new covenant is that the first one did not produce the kind of change in people God is looking for. The Law of Moses did not result in the righteous behavior God always seeks under every covenant. This is why God gave the new covenant.

It [the new covenant] will not be like the covenant I made with their forefathers when I took them by the hand to lead them out of Egypt, because they did not remain faithful to my covenant, and I turned away from them, declares the Lord. (Hebrews 8:9—NIV)

Paul spoke in the seventh chapter of the Book of Romans concerning the problem arising from the Law of Moses.

Once I was alive apart from law; but when the commandment came, sin sprang to life and I died. (Romans 7:9—NIV)

Because the Law of Moses did not create the righteousness, holiness, and obedience God always desires in His creatures, God gave us a new covenant.

Under the new covenant the eternal moral law of God is written in the mind and heart of the believer. This means he or she will begin to keep the moral law by nature because it has been written in his or her mind and heart. Does this make sense to you? Can you see why the new covenant is superior to the Law of Moses?

The body and blood of the Lord Jesus Christ are the new covenant. "This is my blood of the covenant." As we follow Christ each day, overcoming sin through His Divine grace and virtue, we are given to eat of His flesh and to drink of His blood. This is the way the eternal moral law of God is formed in our mind and heart. Christ Himself is the Word that is being written in our personality.

What I have just written is the way of salvation that has replaced the Law of Moses. There is no other way of salvation. There are no "four steps" we can take that insure our escape from Hell and eternal residence in the spirit Paradise. There are more like four million steps of salvation, if the truth be known.

To be continued.
