Below are listed the blessings that do not apply to the old covenant Ten Commandments. These blessings are only in the New Covenant. Remember the Ten Commandments are the old covenant, and were not changed in any way by Jesus Christ. Deuteronomy 4:13 Matthew 5:17,18 Moses put us under the curse of the Ten Commandments but Jesus became the curse for us and his covenant has no new condemnation, no more curse. Romans 8:1 Deuteronomy 27:26
When the Ten Commandments were given to ancient Israel GOD said this, Deuteronomy 4:2 , Matthew 5:17,18 Joshua 1:7 Deuteronomy 12:32 Paul confirmed that once a covenant is made it cannot be altered. Galatians 3:15 The new covenant cannot be changed or altered either. The new covenant cannot be the old covenant or vice versa.
Examine the scriptures given with each item below and hopefully you may see that the keeping of the Ten Commandments provides none of the blessings that Jesus did in the new covenant. We have GOD, Jesus and Paul saying plainly that the old covenant Ten Commandments and law of Moses can not be altered in any way which then would logically follow that all the better promises of the new covenant cannot be added to the old covenant.
Righteousness Galatians 2:21 Philippians 3:8,9
Inheritance Romans 4:14 Galatians 3:21,22
Forgiveness Hebrews 10:4 Romans 8:1 Colossians 1:14 Matthew 26:28
Mercy Hebrews 10:28 Deuteronomy 17:6
Justification Acts 13:39 Galatians 2:16 Galatians 3:11 Galatians 5:4
Faith Galatians 3:12 Deuteronomy 32:20KJV Galatians 3:12 Romans 4:4,5
Repentance if there is no mercy or forgiveness under the Ten Commandments then this means repentance is not available in the Ten Commandments.
Holy Spirit Ancient carnal Israel did not have the Holy Spirit. Galatians 3:2
A Messiah The old covenant had no messiah.
Everlasting life Galatians 3:22 Romans 6:23
GODLY love Romans 5:5 Acts 2:38 John 3:16,17 Romans 13:10
Shadow & symbolism with no substance Colossians 2:17 Hebrews 10:1
Inferior promises Hebrews 8:6 Hebrews 7:22 2 Corinthians 3:6
No salvation Acts 4:2 John 14:6 Ephesians 2:8,9
No Baptism There was circumcision required to keep the Ten Commandments but no baptism under the Ten Commandments. Mark 16:16 Acts 2:38 Galatians 3:26,27
No Oath Under the old covenant Ten Commandments the requirements to be in that covenant was circumcision and swearing an oath to keep the whole old covenant law, the Ten Commandments and law of Moses. Jesus forbid oaths, Matthew 5:34 In the early church certain Jews wanted the Gentiles to do this; Acts 15:5 the Apostles ruled against their demands and wrote a letter , Acts 15:23,24KJV This is not just about circumcision, because Moses did not give circumcision to Israel, John 7:22 Acts 7:8
What does justify mean ? It means to be absolved from blame. GOD will impute righteousness to the person who is of faith. Romans 4:24 Impute means to be credited to a persons account. Righteousness is what is imputed, what is righteousness ? Righteousness is, being in a right standing with GOD. Are the Ten Commandments able to make a person righteous? Galatians 2:21 The keepers of the Ten Commandments generate their own righteousness but not the imputed righteousness of GOD. Philippians 3:9 All human righteousness is filthy rags to GOD. Isaiah 64:6
If you put yourself under the Ten Commandments you will have no inheritance with Christ. Romans 4:14 Galatians 3:18,29 Titus 3:5,6,7 Everything written here is very plain. If you want all the blessings that come from Christ you have to give up keeping the Ten Commandments, the old covenant, and enter the new covenant. Christians do not sin with impunity as some have accused them but rather fulfill the intent of the Ten Commandments by the the two Commandments of Christ which Christians keep with GODS love. Loving GOD and neighbor is not sin. Christians begin to take on the divine nature of GOD and Christ, they no longer sin because of a commandment but because it is their nature. 2 Peter 1:4
