The New Covenant law is verified through Scripture, particularly in the fulfillment of Christ, who provides righteous standing before God through faith.
The truth of the New Covenant law is affirmed in the New Testament and is rooted in the redemptive work of Christ. As expressed in Galatians 3:10-11, no one can be justified by the law; it is through faith that we are made right with God. The purpose of the New Covenant, established in the work of Jesus, ensures that the people of God live by faith, not by law. Notably, as followers of Christ, we are justified and declared righteous not based on our adherence to the law but based on our faith in His accomplished work. This assurance is depicted in Ephesians 1:4-5, which states that we are chosen in Christ before the foundation of the world, confirming our inclusion in the New Covenant.
