Summary of Lesson #6 5 points:   1. The 10 Commandments covenant was the "first" covenant and is identified as the "Old Covenant". "Hebrews 8:13" Hebrews 8 13 In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away.   2. Men did not keep the 10 commandments. "Hebrews 8:9" Hebrews 8 9 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord.   3. Therefore, God found fault with the 10 commandments covenant and made a better covenant. "Hebrews 8:7" Hebrews 8 7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second.   4. Jesus has a more excellent ministry and is a mediator of a better covenant than Moses. "Hebrews 8:5, 6" Hebrews 8 5 Who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, See, saith he, that thou make all things according to the pattern shewed to thee in the mount. 6 But now hath He [Jesus] obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises. {covenant: or, testament}   5. Under the New Covenant God would remember sins no more. "Hebrews 8:12" Hebrews 8 12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.
