The Glorious New-Covenant Ministry Quotes

“What is more, those who continue to hold to ‘the survival of the fittest’ should never be revolted at genocide or natural disaster – it is only ‘the survival of the fittest’! Above all, never again should blinded sinners, deliberately self-blinded sinners, ever try to complain about God ‘allowing’ such things, and ‘doing nothing about it’. Let ‘the survival of the fittest’ be their comfort! They want ‘blind fate’ as their god; they mustn’t complain when blind fate does things they somehow don’t like.”

“I must underline this. The apostle deliberately polarises the issue, and he does it for us. He demands that we choose between two mutually exclusive systems. He simply will not allow us to make a mongrel system out of the two; it is either/or. In reality, of course, there is no choice: it has to be the new covenant – every time!”

“And this is the heart of the matter – the new covenant. This is what makes the difference between the Judaisers and the apostle. They labour in the letter, the law, the old covenant; he labours in the Spirit, in the gospel, the new covenant. And it is not only, as it were, the message that is different. The power, the boasting, the glory of the apostolic ministry, its very ethos, lies in that it is a ministry of the new covenant, not the old. With the change of covenant, the entire ministry has changed.”

“The truth is, the Judaisers’ ministry is in a totally different realm, a different age, a different system, to the apostle’s. They are – obviously so – living and working in the age and ambience of the law, and their ministry shows it. Theirs is an old-covenant ministry, a ministry of law. Paul, however, lives in the realm of the Spirit, and his ministry is that of the new covenant. This is what makes all the difference. His boasting, power and commendation come from his being in the realm of the Spirit, and not in the realm of the law.”
