What benefits do believers enjoy from the New Covenant if they are not in it?
Believers enjoy the benefits accomplished by God to fulfill His New Covenant with Israel: the work of the cross, the power of Christ’s resurrection, the coming of the Holy Spirit, and the blessings of this Age of Grace. They are not in a covenant relationship, but are members of the Body of Christ under His headship.
Les explains that many theologians claim believers in the Age of Grace are under the New Covenant, but in plain English Scripture says God makes this New Covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah—Israel and no one else. Therefore believers cannot be in a covenant God makes with Israel. Instead, Les teaches, they enjoy the benefits of everything God did to fulfill that covenant with Israel: the work of the cross, the power of His resurrection, the coming of the Holy Spirit, and all the blessings of this Age of Grace. Yet this is not a covenant relationship; believers are members of the Body of Christ, with Him as the Head, in the Body but not in a covenant relationship.
