What is the relationship between the Old and New Covenant?

Answered in 1 source

The Old and New Covenants are two administrations of the same covenant of grace, showing God's unchanging purpose.

The relationship between the Old and New Covenants is foundational to understanding God's redemptive plan. Both represent different administrations of the same covenant of grace, as articulated by theologians like John Gill, highlighting that they are not separate or unrelated but rather progressions in God’s salvific strategy. The Old Covenant, established with Israel, pointed forward to the New Covenant fulfilled in Christ (Hebrews 8:6). This continuity illustrates not only God’s faithfulness but also how the Old Testament sacrifices foreshadowed the ultimate sacrifice of Christ. The New Covenant clarifies and expands upon the promises of the Old, affirming that salvation has always been granted through faith in God's provision.
