The Old Law or the New: Does it Make Any Difference?

Instruments, candles, incense, special priests, and Sabbath worship are all common in churches today. This tract asks a hard question: why go back to the Old Law when Christ brought a new covenant?

The Old Law or the New: Does It Make Any Difference? is a tract by Carl McMurray. It shows from Scripture that Christians live under a new covenant and look to Jesus alone for direction in worship.

Why Hand Out This Tract

Many churches justify their practices by pointing to David or the Law of Moses without realizing that law was fulfilled and set aside at the cross. This tract walks through what Jesus, the apostles, and the book of Hebrews teach about the new covenant, explains why the early church didn't use those practices, and invites the reader to turn to Jesus alone as their authority.

What It Covers

• A new covenant: Colossians 2:13-17 and Hebrews 7:11-19
• Jesus fulfilled the Law: Matthew 5:17-18 and Luke 24:44
• The apostles' teaching: Ephesians 2:14-16 and Galatians 3:23-25
• A better covenant: Hebrews 8:6-13, Colossians 3:17, and Christ as our high priest

Ways to Use It

Give it to friends from denominational backgrounds who ask about your worship, use it in classes on the covenants, and keep it in your tract rack for visitors.
