G.W. North emphasizes the critical distinction between the Old and New Covenants, arguing that many Christians misuse Biblical phrases related to the Blood of Christ due to a lack of understanding. He warns against superstitious practices that treat the Blood as a magical covering, asserting that true protection and redemption come from a deep, personal relationship with Jesus rather than ritualistic applications. North highlights that the early Church did not practice blood-sprinkling or seek protection through the Blood, but rather experienced forgiveness and cleansing through faith in Christ. He concludes that redemption is found in Jesus Himself, not merely in His Blood, and encourages believers to embrace the newness of life in Christ, free from outdated practices. The sermon calls for a renewal of understanding and speech that reflects the fullness of life in the Spirit.

Zac Poonen emphasizes the transformative power of the New Covenant compared to the Old Covenant, highlighting that the Old Covenant was limited in leading people to true inward righteousness, peace, and joy. He illustrates this by comparing the transition from British rule in India to the freedom of a republic, stressing that believers often fail to grasp the significance of living under the New Covenant. Poonen urges Christians to embrace honesty about their inner lives and to love the truth, as this is essential for spiritual growth and overcoming sin. He warns against the dangers of self-deception and emphasizes the importance of inward righteousness and a consistent Christian life, which is marked by joy and peace through the Holy Spirit.
