The Word of God has beautiful
descriptions in describing the old and
new testaments. One of such is, Mount
Sinai for the old testament, and Mount
Zion for the new. It's saddening that
many believers think that the
difference between the old and new
testaments is a blank page in their
Bibles. My question to you, my friend,
today is: Have you left Sinai? What
does Sinai represent? Hebrews
12:18-21, 'For ye are not come unto
the mount that might be touched, and
that burned with fire, nor unto
blackness, and darkness, and tempest,
And the sound of a trumpet, and the
voice of words; which voice they that
heard intreated that the word should
not be spoken to them any more: (For
they could not endure that which was
commanded, And if so much as a beast
touch the mountain, it shall be stoned,
or thrust through with a dart: And so
terrible was the sight, that Moses said,
I exceedingly fear and quake'. This was
the operation of the old testament. It
was a dispensation of fear and
trepidation! The law did two things; it
fueled sin (1 Corinthians 15:56) and it
fueled God's anger (Romans 4:15). But,
God has brought that to an end! Glory!
The present reality is this: Hebrews
12:22-24, 'But ye are come unto
mount Sion, and unto the city of the
living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and
to an innumerable company of
angels,To the general assembly and
church of the firstborn, which are
written in heaven, and to God the
Judge of all, and to the spirits of just
men made perfect, And to Jesus the
mediator of the new covenant, and to
the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh
better things than that of Abel.' The
phrase, 'better things' is from the
Greek, ' kreittōn'. It means, 'more
advantageous, more beneficial to
another'. The dispensation of Grace
ushered in by Christ is more
advantageous to us. The law served to
show man his inability to meet up to
God's standard. Grace is God's
invitation to watch him make his dream
come true for your life. It's his call to
watch him accomplish in you all that
human effort, represented by the law
of Moses couldn't do. Grace has
brought about a recreation; not a
reformation of sinners! We are his
workmanship that he ordained in Christ
unto good works-Ephesians 2:10! Titus
2:14, 'Who gave himself for us, that he
might redeem us from all iniquity, and
purify unto himself a peculiar people,
zealous of good works.' This is what
God has made us out to be; a people
zealous of good works! You cannot
dwell on Sinai and Zion at the same
time! Dwelling on Sinai frustrates
dwelling on Zion; Grace's capitol-
Galatians 2:21! The law of Moses has
been abolished! A new law has been
enacted; the Law of love! It's God's
own life walk! Walking in love is all
about receiving God's love for you and
reflecting same! Walk in love, knowing
you are loved! # Grace # Pleroma
