Thank you. So Christ did not give a "new" commandment; the greatest commandment is an "old" commandment from the law of Moses.
So then God's laws ARE *distinct* from the covenants, right...because otherwise how can one be under the NEW covenant but still obey a law - unaltered - that originated under the OLD covenant; the very act many have been arguing is a work in "self-righteousness", saying "obeying a law from Moses automatically places oneself under the OLD covenant...even if one believes in Christ's grace in the NEW covenant"?
