Developing application in Isaiah
People have been asking me on this conference [Autumn Ministers Conference] about application in Isaiah now that Christ has come.
- Make applications about God first. The Bible is God's book, not ours and any lessons about God are always true of an unchanging God. Start here.
- There is a dotted line between the Old Testament covenant community and the New Testament covenant community. The line is dotted because the covenant is there; but there is discontinuity too because there is a quality change when the Spirit comes and indwells the believer. It is life in the Spirit (clearly outlined in the New Testament) which governs life under the better way of Jesus.
