Overview

Under the pressure of various persecutions, many Jewish Christians were apparently withdrawing from the Church and returning to the relative safety of Jewish worship at the synagogue. Paul wanted to show these Jewish Christians that Jesus is greater than Moses and that His ministry brought a new covenant superior to the old covenant under the law of Moses. Paul taught that Jesus Christ descended from His heavenly throne to live as a mortal man on earth and perform an infinite Atonement for us. By encouraging the Saints to let go of unbelieving attitudes, Paul sought to help them return to the covenants they had made.
