Hello Everyone, 4
God also Makes a NEW COVENANT.
The New Covenant is a Blood Covenant. Like in the OT, there had to be a blood sacrifice…
Luke 22:20
Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament [covenant] in my blood, which is shed for you.
1 Cor. 11:25
After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.
A Blood Covenant…
The New Covenant is a Better Covenant.
Is Better because of the Spirit.
2 Cor. 3:6
Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.
Is Better because of the Savior. (Mediator)
Hebrews 9:15
And for this cause he (Jesus) is the mediator of the New Testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions [that were] under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.
We have the privilege of participating in this new covenant. In fact, a covenant requires the involvement of at least two parties. We have the opportunity of entering into a new covenant with God.
A new creation, and a new covenant…
Oh How HE Loves Us!
