GearTalk Biblical Theology Jason DeRouchie, Tom Kelby

Jason and Tom continue our look at promises found in the Old Testament. Today, we consider two of the four ways that Jesus makes every promise “yes.” Along with the Scriptures, this Tom and Jason use Jason’s new book, "Delighting in the Old Testament: Through Christ and for Christ."

This episode continues our look at promises found in the Old Testament. Today, Tom and Jason consider five principles that shape how the New Testament authors relate Old Testament promises to Christians.

Tom and Jason consider the importance of promises in the Bible. As we’ll learn today, we absolutely need promises. They are a gift from God for believers in this present age. This theme is of major importance, and we’ll be considering it for the next few weeks. Why do we have promises from God? What benefit do they bring to us? How do the New Testament authors apply promises spoken in the Old Testament to believers living under the New Covenant?

Today, we continue looking at the Law of Moses and the Christian. More specifically, we look at an instance in the New Testament where we can see the coming of Jesus resulting in a transformation of the Law. Jason and Tom work through Paul’s instructions to the church in 1 Corinthians 5 which were clearly based upon a law in Deuteronomy 22. How did Paul arrive at his conclusions in the law’s application for the church?

Today, we continue looking at the Law of Moses and the Christian. As we talked about last week in our podcast titled “How Jesus Makes Moses’s Law Matter," the coming of Jesus changes the way God’s people relate to the law of Moses. We need to relate to the law, but the coming of Jesus changes the way we relate to it. Today, we look at a three-step process to help the Christian apply laws today.

Today’s podcast focuses on the Law of Moses and the Christian. As we talked about in previous podcasts, Moses saw a day coming when God’s people would obey the law. By this, he meant the law recorded in Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. Yet Christ has come. How has his coming changed the way God’s people relate to the Law of Moses? Tom and Jason talk about the three R’s New Testament authors used when thinking about the Law. They also talk about two images Jason uses to help Christians understand how we ought to relate to the Law not that we live in the New Covenant era.
