“We may divide the law of the Old Testament into two basic categories, those of creation law and redemptive law. Creation law is that which looks the same throughout the history of the world. The definition of marriage and adultery did not change in the transition between the old and new covenants. Theft looked the same in 700 B.C. as it looks today. Redemption law is law to which obedience may vary in appearance drastically. Keeping the Passover before Christ involved a sacrificial paschal lamb and the removal of all physical leaven from the house3 (Exodu. 12:15), while today we sit down at the Lord’s Supper, removing the leaven of malice and wickedness (1 Cor. 5:7-8). The transition between the covenants has dramatically altered the appearance of obedience” (Mother Kirk, p. 232).
