New testament old testament

The Bible is also called the Old Testament and the New Testament. Covenant refers to the "Covenant" between God and man. According to Exodus 19-23, Moses led the Israelites out of Egypt and came to Mount Sinai in the south-central Sinai Peninsula. The Lord God called Moses on Mount Sinai and made a covenant with Israel through Moses. One of the contracting parties, Israel, should abide by the Ten Commandments. It is said that the "Ten Commandments" were written by God himself on two stone tablets, which are called "Law Tablets". The contents are: 1. You shall not worship any other gods except God; Second, do not worship idols; Third, don't take the name of God in vain; Fourth, when observing the holy rest day; Fifth, filial piety to parents; Sixth, do not kill; Seven, do not commit adultery; Eight, do not steal; Nine, do not commit perjury against others; Ten, don't be greedy for people's property. Israelis have an obligation to obey the Ten Commandments, or God will punish them. God, the other side of the Covenant, promised to take the Israelites as his own voters and give the Canaan land to the Israelites as an eternal inheritance. Since the conclusion of this Covenant, 65,438+0,000 years have passed. Because the Israelites have repeatedly broken their promises and committed crimes, God severely punished them and even made them suffer the pain of national subjugation. But God is merciful. In order to save the world, he sent his only son, Jesus, to the world as a "mediator" between God and mankind. Jesus used his precious blood as a ransom to reconcile God with all mankind and conclude a new covenant. The signatory is no longer limited to one Jewish nation, but all mankind. Anyone can incarnate, because he believes that Jesus is the son of God, died on the cross to save mankind, then came back to life, ascended to heaven and so on. Then he can be pardoned, enter the kingdom of heaven and enjoy eternal life. This is "justification by faith"; God, the other side of the contract, forgave people's sins because of Jesus' redemption. Christianity calls this Covenant the New Testament, while the original Sinai Covenant is called the Old Testament, the Old Testament Standard Book is called the Old Testament, and the New Testament Standard Book is called the New Testament. Therefore, the Bible is also called the old and new covenant. Catholicism in China calls Judaism "ancient religion", so it calls the Old Testament "ancient scripture" and the New Testament "new scripture". %D%A The Old Testament is from its beginning until the arrival of the Lord Jesus. %D%A The New Testament is about after the Lord, that is, after the birth of Jesus.
