The covenant saves. Period. Whether in the old or new dispensation, it is not the merit of the Israelites, the merit of the Church, or any personal effort that saves, but the covenant with God, written in Jesus’ blood, that saves.

But in the new dispensation Jesus, incarnate covenant word Himself, actively seeks the lost.
