How does the eternal covenant differ from the Mosaic covenant?

Answered in 1 source

The eternal covenant is one of grace and unconditional promises, while the Mosaic covenant is conditional, based on works and obedience.

The eternal covenant is primarily characterized by God's unconditional grace, offering salvation solely based on faith in Christ and His sacrificial work. In contrast, the Mosaic covenant, given to Israel, operates on the principle of obedience to the law, where blessings are contingent upon adherence to its stipulations. As detailed in Romans 11:6, mixing the grace of the eternal covenant with the works orientation of the Mosaic covenant leads to confusion and spiritual struggle. Understanding these differences helps believers appreciate the complete salvation provided in Christ, ensuring their approach to God is rooted in grace rather than performance.
