One of the major differences between
the old and new covenants is the shift away from doing and toward
believing. In the Old Testament, the focus was on performing; in
the New Testament, the focus is on faith. However, we need
precision in this area; what is necessary is not faith in our own
performance, but in Jesus’ perfect performance and what He has
already done. This is what positions us to receive the blessings
promised in the Bible. The Gospel of Grace emphasizes the link
between belief and obedience; as Christians, we must not stumble
and fall back into thinking that our works are more important than
our faith in Christ. With this in mind, we must abandon our
self-efforts that religion demands from us and simply trust in
Jesus. When we believe we are righteous because of Him, our
behavior will eventually reflect that.
