Most of Christianity believes that the New Covenant replaces the Old Covenant—that the Old contained the law and was replaced by the grace of the New. But, do you realize that both Old and New Covenants were offered at the same time to Abraham and his descendants? The Old Covenant contained physical promises of race. The New Covenant promised to Abraham was one of grace, brought through his descendant, Jesus Christ. Through Him, all peoples will be blessed with the opportunity of receiving salvation in the Kingdom of God.
