Take the Parable of the Talents. The one who buried the talent was like one who merely adheres to the old covenant which describes a Good Samaritan but does not to produce one - that talent of the old covenant needs to be seen as a description of what God wants people to be like then combined with the teachings of Jesus in the new covenant of truth to get to being a Good Samaritan - else if you just keep the old covenant and say to the Master you kept it He will say you buried it in the sand and didn't put it to work. That won't be good at all.
