The purpose of this lesson was to help the student to reason (by induction) the following information from the passages:
  Definition of "testament" American Heritage:
  [archaic]: covenant between human beings and God. "Covenant": binding agreement; compact. Law: formal sealed agreement or contract.
   [Hence, in the Bible meaning,
"testament"="covenant".]

The purpose of this lesson was to help the student to reason (by induction) the following information from the passages:
   "Testament"="covenant"
  1. Under the Old Covenant (Testament), Gentiles were alienated from Israel, were called the "uncircumcision", were "strangers from the covenants of promise."

  4. Jesus died for all sins committed under the Old and New Covenant.
  5. The first covenant is "old", "done away with" and places "a vail" over one's heart when he reads it.

The main thought in our selected passage from the books of Hebrews, 2 Corinthians, Ephesians is
(select)
God's new covenant comes into effect at His Son's birth on Earth.

The cross is the end of the Old Covenant and the beginning of the New.

Jesus was a good man but at his death all hope for Israel was gone.
