What Does Testament Actually Mean in the Bible?
Friday, December 1, 2023
Summary
In this teaching, Dr. Dharius Daniels unpacks the biblical meaning of the word 'testament,' explaining how it represents both a covenant and a legal will. By examining Hebrews 9, he illustrates how the New Testament operates as a covenant of grace established by Christ's death. Understanding this truth helps believers realize that their divine inheritance is received through grace and relationship, not earned through human works.Key Scriptures
