Study in II Corinthians
A Better Mousetrap
II
Corinthians 31-11 Pauls whole
ministry life was focused on leading people to
the better relationship with God, made
available through Christ and by the Holy
Spirit. He argues that this new
(covenant) standard for relationship in Christ is
far superior to the old (covenant)
standard for relationship under the law.

Why is the new covenant better than the
old?I. It takes us from external rules and
regulations to internal resources for
righteousness. (Jeremiah 3131-37)II. It
takes us from human effort to the Spirits
control.III. It takes us from death to
life.IV. It takes us from obedient redemption
to redemptive obedience.V. It takes us from
condemnation to confidence. (Romans 81-ff)VI.
It takes us from fading encounters with
God to a lasting existence with
God.
