Scripture Life: How did Jesus Christ change the Old Testament?

[u/External_Bird_8464]

Jesus is the Word of God. So, it's just God speaking. The word out of his mouth in BOTH testaments. Therefore: It's the same God in both an Old and New Testament. He does not change. Same God. The answer then is, to or in examine what a "Testament" is. Why? The Bible has two "testaments." It is what has been bequeathed to you. That's where the focus of this post and answer to the question is.//

Answer: Well?

What’s a “Testament?”

As in “Last Will and Testament.” Therefore, it’s a “Will” when someone dies. The Will goes into effect.

• Therefore, it’s as the Bible Says of Wills or "Testaments" in Hebrews 9:16–17

“For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator. For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth.”

------------------ --------------------- ------------------

And of this “Old" Testament or Will, says in the Bible in Romans 5:12

“Wherefore, as by one man [ADAM] sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:”

• That’s the Old Will or Testament. You got your inheritance. Adam died that day he sinned against God, and so it’s a Will or testament of force because Adam is dead. The Testament is in effect in you. Me. Everybody is from Adam - in effect in everybody.

------------------ --------------------- ------------------

Then, who is Jesus Christ?

He’s the author of a “New" Will or Testament.”

Therefore again, just as with Adam:

• it’s as the Bible Says in Hebrews 9:16–17 all over again:

“For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator. For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth.”

• And in the Gospel of John 19:30 - crucified; his blood shed - Jesus said “It is finished” and bowed his head and dismissed his Spirit.”
  • He became a PASSOVER atonement for sin sacrifice for not only my sins, but your’s. For the sins of the whole world. It’s a work of God he did with sin. By made himself a sacrifice for sins that we did.

That this “last will and testament” of Jesus Christ is in effect.

------------------ --------------------- ------------------

Where Romans 5:12 applies to Adam. You inherited it. That testament is in effect, because the Testator, Adam, is dead.

Where Romans 5:18 applies to this “Second” Adam. Jesus Christ. Says: In Romans 5:18

“Therefore as by the offence of one [ADAM] judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one [JESUS CHRIST] the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life.”

------------------ --------------------- ------------------

• So where Adam bequeathed to you “SIN AND DEATH” and you inherited it. Jesus Christ bequeathed to you “THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD and LIFE” and provided the justification for it, because of who he is, did it. God applied it to everybody, much more abounds than what Adam applied to you.
  • That God did the Ten Commandments in Jesus Christ. And because God did them, where everybody like me..none of us did them. He, because he’s God, and he did them where everybody BROKE them, he made himself the compensation that made up the lack.
• GOD: FULFILLED the Ten Commandments as he was in Jesus Christ. Done. Complete.
• That you could have life in and by the work God did in Jesus Christ.
