Who are the covenant people

Who are the covenant people?
A covenant means a sacred agreement or a mutual promise between God and a person or a group of people.

Does one new covenant make an older covenant obsolete ?

Yes it does:

Hebrews 8:13 In that He says, “A new covenant,” He has made the first obsolete. Now what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away.

Which it did vanish in AD70 when the temple was destroyed

The word

The word obsolute could mean outdated out of date, the word could be refering to something that has grown old over time.

It could also mean that something better is coming newer or more perfected or modern is at hand.

Would obsolute mean finished in this meaning

The one given first superceeds the gospel was promised before the law was ever given four hundred thirty years before

“Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.( Jesus is Abraham’s promised seed )


And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ,

the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect.

For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise: but God gave it to Abraham by promise.


Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator.”
‭‭Galatians‬ ‭3:16-19‬ ‭KJV‬‬

The law came after the promise of the gospel and is only temporary until the seed Jesus came forth it’s the gospel

the covenant promise to Abraham came before the law was given by Moses the chosen mediator of the letter

could you simplify this for me please I'm struggling to keep up

A new covenant between the same parties may make the old covenant obsolete, but not necessarily. The terms and context of the covenant would determine that.

In other words, the title question contains insufficient information for us to provide a clear answer.

this is why I've answered don't know

Hebrews may help.

“If perfection could have been attained through the Levitical priesthood—and indeed the law given to the people established that priesthood—why was there still need for another priest to come, one in the order of Melchizedek, not in the order of Aaron? For when the priesthood is changed, the law must be changed also. He of whom these things are said belonged to a different tribe, and no one from that tribe has ever served at the altar. For it is clear that our Lord descended from Judah, and in regard to that tribe Moses said nothing about priests. And what we have said is even more clear if another priest like Melchizedek appears, one who has become a priest not on the basis of a regulation as to his ancestry but on the basis of the power of an indestructible life. For it is declared: “You are a priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek.” The former regulation is set aside because it was weak and useless (for the law made nothing perfect), and a better hope is introduced, by which we draw near to God.”
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭7‬:‭11‬-‭19‬ ‭NIV‬‬

“Now the main point of what we are saying is this: We do have such a high priest, who sat down at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven, and who serves in the sanctuary, the true tabernacle set up by the Lord, not by a mere human being. They serve at a sanctuary that is a copy and shadow of what is in heaven. This is why Moses was warned when he was about to build the tabernacle: “See to it that you make everything according to the pattern shown you on the mountain.” But in fact the ministry Jesus has received is as superior to theirs as the covenant of which he is mediator is superior to the old one, since the new covenant is established on better promises. For if there had been nothing wrong with that first covenant, no place would have been sought for another. But God found fault with the people and said: “The days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the people of Israel and with the people of Judah. It will not be like the covenant I made with their ancestors when I took them by the hand to lead them out of Egypt, because they did not remain faithful to my covenant, and I turned away from them, declares the Lord. This is the covenant I will establish with the people of Israel after that time, declares the Lord. I will put my laws in their minds and write them on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people. No longer will they teach their neighbor, or say to one another, ‘Know the Lord,’ because they will all know me, from the least of them to the greatest. For I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no more.” By calling this covenant “new,” he has made the first one obsolete; and what is obsolete and outdated will soon disappear.”

Sure these are Gods covenant people

“And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved;

( and this group isn’t )

but he that believeth not shall be damned.”
‭‭Mark‬ ‭16:15-16‬ ‭KJV‬‬

heres why I say that

“For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.

There is neither Jew nor Greek, ( not about nationality ) there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.”
‭‭Galatians‬ ‭3:26-29‬ ‭KJV‬‬

That’s why I was talking about Jesus being Abraham’s aeed and believers in him are those chosen elect people of God

This is thier calling now

“Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye. And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.

And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.”
‭‭Colossians‬ ‭3:12-16‬ ‭KJV‬‬


christians regardless of thier flesh and blood heritage who accept the gospel and believe are the covenant people because the gospel is the covenant it is the election of Gods people when he did this

“And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; “

“And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭24:14‬ ‭KJV‬‬

whoever accepts the gospel he sent into the world is accepting his covenant of eternal Life

i hope this is simple it’s about as basic as I can say what I’m trying to say to e who hears and believes the gospel thats in the Bible has entered into his covenant

The covenant people are, and always have been, those who are of the the faith of Abraham.

To my understanding if Zion were to still be for Gods covenant people then yes Christians are Gods covenant people through the blood atonement of Christ

“You have not come to a mountain that can be touched and that is burning with fire; to darkness, gloom and storm; to a trumpet blast or to such a voice speaking words that those who heard it begged that no further word be spoken to them, because they could not bear what was commanded: “If even an animal touches the mountain, it must be stoned to death.” The sight was so terrifying that Moses said, “I am trembling with fear.” But you have come to Mount Zion, to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem. You have come to thousands upon thousands of angels in joyful assembly, to the church of the firstborn, whose names are written in heaven. You have come to God, the Judge of all, to the spirits of the righteous made perfect, to Jesus the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks a better word than the blood of Abel. See to it that you do not refuse him who speaks. If they did not escape when they refused him who warned them on earth, how much less will we, if we turn away from him who warns us from heaven? At that time his voice shook the earth, but now he has promised, “Once more I will shake not only the earth but also the heavens.” The words “once more” indicate the removing of what can be shaken—that is, created things—so that what cannot be shaken may remain. Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe, for our “God is a consuming fire.””
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭12‬:‭18‬-‭29‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Amen

“Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness. Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham. And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed.

So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham.


For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them. But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith. And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them.”
‭‭Galatians‬ ‭3:6-12‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.”
‭‭Mark‬ ‭16:15-16‬ ‭KJV‬‬


“For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.”
‭‭Galatians‬ ‭3:26-29‬ ‭

have you ever read the allegory of the two covenants the two sons of Abraham written by Paul it really explains it

Would renouncing sin and denouncing sin daily, come into a covenant.

Such as polluting my body with alcohol but not daily and recently I have gone back to smoking daily.

There I am struggling with a sin that I have renounced with sincerity but, a few weeks later i fall back to that sin by not denouncing it daily.

Such as defiling my body which as entered into a covenant with Christ who want me keep his temple clean.

If I denounce the sin daily would I be a covenant people.l if I stuck to denouncing a sin I keep being drawn back to

I don't see see the difference of the old testament, because I could kill my body.

The same for the old the people where stoned to death under a covenant.

So by not denouncing daily, am I not inviting death and denouncing the new covenant.

I think that if you take the words "covenant people" and re-arrange them, then change them, it spells "Rainy Day People"...

A comment concerning sin and just trying to be helpful...Galatians 5:16 says when we walk in the Spirit we won't fulfill the lusts of the flesh. Attempting to overcome sin independently of God will neither work or glorify God.

God in the older covenant said you can rule over sin.

Why would denouncing a secret sin you keep falling back into be not ruling over sin.

Are you not denouncing all sin by denouncing one sin your prone to.

As if you carry on in one sin is there not a chance of inviting different sins in,

And are you not denouncing the new covenant for not denouncing a particular habitual sin daily until it's eradicated altogether.

But even then you could fall back into it

When you walk in the Spirit you cannot sin because the Spirit cannot sin. There is nothing wrong with denouncing sin. But to be successful in one's Christian walk, one needs to abide in the vine...John 15.
I'm not addressing covenants but as you mentioned recent struggles with sin, I was offering biblical teaching on the subject.

Does the holy spirit leave you if you sin

if I'm not walking in the spirit when I sin does this mean the holy spirit has left me
