The Mosaic Covenant

The Mosaic covenant was a formal arrangement of mutual commitments between God and Israel, with Moses as the mediator between the Israelites and the angels who put the covenant into effect.

While we are “not under law, but under grace” (Rom 6:14), the Old Testament (in particular, the Moral Law) is still a valuable source of ethical wisdom when understood in accordance with the ways in which the New Testament authors apply the Old Testament for ethical teaching.
