Hebrews 8:13 (NKJV) In that He says, “A new [covenant,]” He has made the first obsolete. Now what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away.
Just to be clear, I am not saying that the replacement means nothing is carried over. That’s a related but different topic. Virtually all covenants carry things from the previous ones, because God does not change, and what he cared about before, he still cares about. Mind you, we still practice things from Noahic covenant. |
What is the covenant language used in regards to Adam? Not saying there wasn't an Adamic Covenant, just trying to identify the basis for saying there definitely was.
