The majority of self-identified Christians misunderstand the significance of and difference between the Old and New Covenants. The New Covenant represents the fulfilment of the Old, which is obsolete and ineffective. It cannot save. Through Christ’s sacrifice, believers are granted a new relationship with God, emphasizing grace over the law, invalidating the Old Covenant's relevance.
In the Gospel of John, Jesus addresses His mother as "Woman" rather than "Mother," highlighting a spiritual bond rather than a physical lineage. True kinship in faith transcends ethnicity and genetic ties, asserting that only those who follow God's will are considered Jesus’s true family, replacing traditional Jewish identity.
