Understanding the Whole Bible: The King, The Kingdom and the New Covenant

Truly, the letter of the Law kills, but the Spirit brings life (see 2 Cor. 3:6).

Through the gift of tongues, He brought the peoples back together in the Spirit. This does not mean we speak every language. However, the spiritual language of love that we have been given crosses all language barriers on earth.

Revelation was not about the destruction of a people but the destruction of a flawed system that had veiled God for years.

Now all people can have the Spirit poured out on them, regardless of age, gender, or position. The baptism of the Spirit is available to all—which was exactly Peter’s point. It is not about quantity (how many are filled) but about the inclusion of the gentiles (how many can be filled).

“This is my command: Love each other” (John 15:17).

only two chapters after the establishment of the Law, the wrath of God makes its first appearance. This makes more sense when we read Romans 4:15, which says, “The law brings wrath….” In other words, the wrath of God came with the Law.

If you are going to be a disciple, don’t be a half-disciple.

true faith has the fruit of good works.

The truth is, we are already in an eternal new covenant (see Heb. 13:20).
