Cornelius: Reluctant Evangelists
As with those God used to bring us to repentance and faith in Christ, we cannot let any barriers – theological or practical – get in the way of us sharing the gospel.
Ceremonial Laws
Traditions & Authentic Rules
Christ’s dispute with the Pharisees regarding what constituted proper OT ceremonial obedience is a model for us as we consider our obedience to the moral rules of the NT.
Obsolete & Eternal Covenants
Christ’s first coming made the OT ceremonial laws obsolete and inaugurated a new arrangement of paired-downed godly practices that should be participated in with love and sincerity.
Why Don't We Have to Keep All Those Old Testament Ceremonies?
Because Christ fulfilled every Old Covenant ceremony we should now approach these Old Testament “parables” by seeing the anticipation of Christ in them and gleaning any moral parallels without adhering to them or requiring them of others.
