What does the Bible say about Mount Sinai and Mount Zion?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible contrasts Mount Sinai, representing the law and condemnation, with Mount Zion, which symbolizes grace and redemption through Christ.

In Hebrews 12:22-24, the writer contrasts Mount Sinai and Mount Zion to illustrate the difference between the law and the gospel. Mount Sinai represents the law given to Moses, highlighting God's holiness and mankind's failure to meet its standards, leading to condemnation. In contrast, Mount Zion represents the grace of Jesus Christ, where believers come to experience mercy, forgiveness, and the presence of God through the mediator of the new covenant.
