Let me repeat the conclusion I arrived at previously:
Jesus is the Redeemer who saves by the Spirit through the New covenant!
As iron sharpens iron,
one person sharpens another. (Proverbs 27:17)

Let me begin with a statement that will have to be defended, but which I think is difficult to argue against:
Nowhere does the OT tell us that the New covenant is only intended for Israel.
Especially among Dispensationalists, the subject of the New covenant creates a bone of contention. Perhaps the majority Dispensationalists hold that the Church has no participatory relationship in the New covenant. Many others believe that the Church does participate in the trickle-down effects of the New covenant, which is still thought to be made with Israel as full parties. Then there are those, myself included, who believe that the Church is made a full party to the New covenant alongside of Israel.
