Not Sinai, But Zion

In this message, John contrasts two spiritual mountains, Sinai and Zion, to illustrate the difference between a life of self-effort and a life of resting in Christ. He emphasizes that Christians are no longer under the law but under grace, part of a new covenant established by Jesus. John urges believers to live as citizens of Zion, drawing near to God with confidence and embracing the privileges of their new identity in Christ.
