New testament - a Christian perspective
The New Testament (or "new covenant") is the covenant that Jesus has mediated between God and man. Through this new covenant, Christ pays for our sins and we receive salvation. This new covenant takes the place of the Old Testament, in which all people stood condemned by the law for their sin.
