What are the implications of the New Testament?

Answer 1

I would begin with a definition of the word 'implication'; the relation that holds between two propositions in virtue of which one is logically deducible from the other. Also, something implied or suggested as naturally to be inferred or understood (dictionary.com). In the broadest sense of the definition as it relates to Scripture, the Old Testament covenant language ends in Malachi 3:1 with God's announcement that the "messenger of the covenant" will come representing God, proving the covenant relationship is not a thing of the past. Under the Old Covenant with Moses, the people of Israel were to believe God and follow Mosaic Law, including circumcision and the system of animal sacrifices. In the New Testament, Christ established the new covenant. Instead of animal sacrifices for atonement, Jesus was the one and only sacrifice whose death could atone for the people's sins once and for all.

Answer 2

The New Testament holds implications for Christian theology, morality, and spirituality. It shapes beliefs about salvation, Jesus Christ, and the nature of God. It also provides guidance on ethical behavior, love for others, and the importance of faith.
