Physical blessings promised under the Old Covenant (Deuteronomy 29:9) give way to spiritual blessings under the New Covenant (Ephesians 1:3). In the Old Testament, God’s dealings are mainly with His chosen people, the Jews in the New Testament, God’s dealings are mainly with His church (Matthew 16:18).
The Old Testament records the giving of God’s Law, and the New Testament shows how Jesus the Messiah fulfilled that Law (Matthew 5:17 Hebrews 10:9). The Old Testament predicts a Messiah (see Isaiah 53), and the New Testament reveals who the Messiah is (John 4:25–26).
