New Work and New Way in the New Testament
Jesus was about to do a new work by creating the New Testament. This New Testament that Jesus would inaugurate would show us a new way to get to heaven. Thus, access to heaven, salvation from sin and its punishment in hell would be found only through Jesus Christ and Him crucified.
Unlike the Old Testament’s inflexibility, this New Testament that Christ Himself founded also brought with it a new way of doing certain things.
