Inner Work Of God vs Outer Work Of God

[soul man]

The major difference between Old Testament and New Testament is; Old Testament was all an outer work of God. New testament is all a inner work of God. Keep in mind there was no HolySpirit in the saints of old. New Testament is all a inner work of God to his born again children, with the Holyspirit in them as their teacher. Blessings!

Yes, the new heart we are given as promised....that the change comes from within us due to the working of the Holy Spirit. You might like this short video which explains why the New Covenant is so much better than the Old Covenant.

Hi Soulman!
I've heard it said that in the OT, when God wanted something supernatural done, He sent the Holy Spirit "upon" them to do God's will. And after the thing was over, the Spirit would leave until the next time they prayed for His help. Then we read what David wrote asking God to not take away His Spirit from Him. That can seem as though they had the Holy Spirit like we do but, I just think it means he is asking God to not stop sending His Spirit if he calls out to Him for help.
God Bless bro!

At Pentecost, the birthday of the church, the Holy Spirit came to dwell (Acts 2); the new birth (John 3) is very much a New Testament truth.

What does David mean here?

"Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.
Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me.
Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit." Psalm 51:10-12
