Goshener Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 AnswerQ. 4: The "blood of the covenant" functions as the holy covenant the Lord has made with the Israelites according to the words of God in the book of the covenant, read by Moses to the Israelites. "The blood of the covenant" in the New Testament is the wine changed into His Blood offered to everybody for the forgiveness of sins (through His apostles)at the Last Supper on the night he was betrayed. The Old and the New Covenant have one thing in common, it is " the blood ". The difference is that the blood in the Old Testament is the blood of an animal (of sheep, goat or bull)while the blood in the New Testament is the Blood of Jesus Christ, our Lord.

Travis63 Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 What is the function of the "blood of the covenant" in Exodus? The function, it's purpose was to establish the agreement with significance. In order to have blood something had to have been sacrificed, life had to have been taken. This was as serious as the blood covenant on the door post and lentils. Don't in the capacity of loosening the death angel, but more so God giving the command and those whom received the guidance accepting and adhering to it. It symbolized the unity between God and Israel, since the same blood was sprinkled upon both, upon God in a figure, at the altar. Exodus 24:7-8 What is the "blood of the covenant" in the New Testament? The "blood of the covenant" in the New Testament is referring to the blood of the Lamb of God, Jesus the Christ. The unblemished and perfect lamb that was slain for the remission of sin for the people. How is the Old Covenant similar to the New Covenant? In relation to the "blood of the covenant" they are both ratified with the shedding of blood. They are similar in that without the shedding of blood there is no remission of sins. The recipients of the Covenants did not have to die physically, in their place there was a substitution from physical death. Both were a seal of a promise from God. How are they different? By way of administration, although there was a physical act in both being the death and shedding of blood by that which was offered. The recipients to the covenant of the old according to God's guidance went through various physical acts in keeping the covenant. The recipients of the new are to strive to remain in agreement with The Spirit, for the new is Spiritual (Yet the behavior of those that are in receipt has a direct correlation to what one values or believe, if even for a period of time. Therefore physical acts as well have substance in regards to the Spiritual. There is much one can say about "the blood of covenant" and also the New and the Old Covenant, there is a difference. I'd like to side bar for a moment , the Old Covenant was not the 10 Commandments and certainly more than a lot of thou shalt nots. In other words, the 10 Commandments and all other commandments of God found in the first five books of the Bible, were not Moses' law, they were was God's law. It is often called the law of Moses to distinguish it from Grace. It is true that the Law does not save, it never did. Just as Abraham is said to be found in the soon coming Kingdom, so will all those after him. Because Abraham BELIEVED, righteousness was counted towards him. He made mistakes, he wasn't perfect as in having never sinned. However Scripture does not inform us that he remained in sin. In more than one manner and on multiple occasions he demonstrated faith with legs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

linda bass Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 The function of the "blood of the covenant" in Exodus was that the covenant couldn't be put into effect without it. The "blood of the covenant" in the New Testament is the blood of Christ. The Old Covenant is similar to the New Covenant in the sense that both needed the shedding of blood in order to be made effective. The two covenants are different in the sense that the Old Covenant was broken when Israel turned to worshipping idols instead of the true God. Since the New Covenant was made by the blood of Christ,those who have truly accepted Christ are His forever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pickledilly Posted April 25, 2011 Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 Shedding blood represented the giving of one life for another. Blood was associated with the soul and is understood to be the vehicle of life in a creature’s body. So the shedding of blood pictures the complete giving of one’s very essence of life to the promises and conditions of the covenant agreement. Yahweh chose this as a sacred symbol of ratifying the covenant and accepting sanctification (being made holy). The blood of the covenant in the New Testament is the blood of Christ (Luke 22:20). Ratification of the New Covenant is similar to the old one in that innocent blood was given for the guilty and must be applied just as the blood was sprinkled on the Israelites when they accepted the Old Covenant. It symbolizes the sacred nature of both the sacrifice and the covenant, as well as those who enter into agreement together. God makes promises and a demand for yielding one's life to Him in the New Covenant, just as He did in the first one. The people must simply agree and submit to the terms. Israel’s relationship to Yahweh was founded by the Old Covenant, and the Church’s relationship to the Father in Christ is founded by the New Covenant. The purpose of the Old Covenant was to show people their need for God’s intervention as He revealed Himself and they understood their lack of ability to fulfill the requirements for holiness. In that sense, it was faulty and inadequate. Humanity had missed the mark from the very beginning. But along with that covenant, Yahweh gave the promise of an even better one to come. The Old Covenant could not redeem anyone from sin, but faith in the promised Messiah of the New Covenant to some is what saved Old Testament saints (Hebrews 11). Hebrews 8:6-7 But as it is, Christ has obtained a ministry that is as much more excellent than the old as the covenant he mediates is better, since it is enacted on better promises. For if that first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no occasion to look for a second. Hebrews 8:13 In speaking of a new covenant, he makes the first one obsolete. And what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away. The Old Covenant was imperfect and demanded continual sacrifices of animals that could never cleanse a person from the condition of sin (Heb.10:4). The New Covenant is flawless and the demand for a perfect sacrifice has been met once and for all in Christ’s giving of His holy blood (Rom.6:10) that now truly cleanses a believer from sin before God (1John 1:7b). In the Old Covenant blood was sprinkled on the people, but in the New Covenant the blood is spiritually applied to the heart, which is the new dwelling place of God on earth. The Old Covenant relied on man’s external effort to obey divine written commandments and laws, but the New Covenant is administered by the Law-Giver from within a person as one submits to the authority and sanctification of the Spirit of God. The Old Covenant provided an acceptance as God’s people but the New Covenant provides adoption as God’s children who are promised full spiritual inheritance with Christ Himself.

wifee Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 4a)The shedding of blood in offerings to Yahweh,essential to atone for sins committed.(Lev 17:11)It was shed to ratify Abrahamic covenant Genesis15:9-18. Formal acceptance of covenant commands Exodus 24:7-8 was put into effect by sprinkling of blood,everything used in ceremonies be cleansed with blood. B)In NT Jesus holds out cup..drink from it,all of you,this is my blood of the covenant,poured out,for the forgiveness of sins Matthew 26:27.Jeremiah 31:31speaks of new covenant.1Peter 1:19 speaks of the final covenant, brought by Jesus was the fulfilment made by his own blood. C)Similarities between old & new c both atoned for sins committed,both required blood to be shed by a priest,both require people to worship one God. Differences-OT required many animals to be slaughtered repeatedly for individual sins and was never sufficient to atone for all sins.Covenant betweenGod &Israel. N.T-Covenant opened up to us all as well as Israel&God.Jesus death &resurrection was the once for all sacrifice to atone for sins,with blood shed on the cross,paid for the forgiveness and cleansing of all sins past,present and future for us all.Believing in Jesus and accepting his covenant of graceEphes 2:8-18 we are cleansed,forgiven &restored,dying to our old self and free from sin to live for Him, and share this good news with others.

Craig Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 The function of the blood of the covenant in Exodus was to consecrate the people before God. To cleanse them of their sins because God is Holy.  The blood shed by Jesus the Messiah on the cross was shed for the universal forgiveness and atonement of human sin so that humanity might be reconciled to God the Father Almighty.  In brief, the Old Covenant shedding of blood for the forgiveness of sin was constant, whereas Jesus' sacrifice was a one time event for the forgiveness of sin.   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onerivertrail Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 Q4. (Exodus 24:8; Matthew 26:27-28) What is the function of the blood of the covenant in Exodus? How is the Old Covenant similar to the New Covenant?  In Exodus it confirmed the agreement that God has made with the people.  In Matthew Jesus confirms his blood as blood of the new covenant between God and man. . What is the blood of the covenant in the New Testament? This is the actual blood of Jesus that was shed on the cross for our sins. How are they different? In the old testament the shedding of blood had to come through an umblemished animal for sin. The sacrifices were always repeated. In the new testament Jesus is the unblemished sacrifice and is the final sacrifice that is necessary for the cleansing of sin forever.

Ademola Posted June 13, 2017 Report Share Posted June 13, 2017 Lesson 5, Q4: A. The functions of the "blood of the covenant" in Exodus is as follows: forgiveness of sin Mark of as God's property prepare the Israelites for Gods worship as priest  B. The precious blood of Jesus Christ is the blood of the covenant in the new testament. C. The similarity between the old and the new testament is the shedding of blood. D. The difference between the two is that animal blood was shed/used for the atonement / forgiveness of sin, which is not adequate to take away sin. But in the new testament God shed the blood of his only begotten son on the cross of Calvary to take away our sins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irmela Posted January 18, 2023 Report Share Posted January 18, 2023 Q4. (Exodus 24:8; Matthew 26:27-28) What is the function of the "blood of the covenant" in Exodus? What is the "blood of the covenant" in the New Testament? How is the Old Covenant similar to the New Covenant?  How are they different? The blood was shed to make the Abrahamic covenant valid.  Christ shed His blood and this is the "blood of the covenant" in the New Testament.  Without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins. In both covenants a sacrifice was made. In the Old Covenant it was the blood of animals and it was done again and again and again, it was not adequate. There was no human being that could be sacrificed as the sacrifice had to be without spot, without blemish or defect. There was no one like that. In the New Covenant, Christ, Who had laid aside all His glory and came as a man, to go through all that humans do, WITHOUT SIN , gave Himself as that Sacrifice that would take away the sin of the world. Now the price has been paid and no more sacrifice is needed.

Krissi Posted April 11 Report Share Posted April 11 Old covenant law (ten commandments, mosaic laws) written on tablets of stone carried around in tabernacle only applies to Israelites ratified with blood of animals has to be done repeatedly -- not lasting has to be done via priests or mediators New covenant grace written in the hearts of believers carried within us applies to all who accept Him -- universal ratified by the blood sacrifice of Jesus one time sacrifice is sufficient -- everlasting no priests or mediators needed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
