What does the Bible say about the commandments in the New Covenant?

The commandments in the New Covenant are not about following a strict set of laws as in the Old Covenant but are centered around the person and work of Christ. In 1 John 2:7-11, the Apostle John speaks of an old commandment that believers had from the beginning, which is to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. This commandment signifies a transformation in how believers are called to understand their relationship with God through Christ's righteousness, not their own works. The commandment is old in that it relates to the timeless truth of the gospel but is new in how it has been manifested through Christ's incarnation, obedience, and sacrificial death. This results in the call to love one another, which is a hallmark of New Covenant theology.
