You have a covenant relationship with God through the precious blood of Jesus
God made a Blood covenant with Abram by taking animals, splitting them in two, and God walking in their blood (Genesis 15:9-11, 17-18).
Genesis 15:9
So He said to him, “Bring Me a three-year-old heifer, a three-year-old female goat, a three-year-old ram, a turtledove, and a young pigeon.”
Genesis 15:10
Then he brought all these to Him and cut them in two, down the middle, and placed each piece opposite the other; but he did not cut the birds in two.
Genesis 15:11
And when the vultures came down on the carcasses, Abram drove them away.
Genesis 15:17
And it came to pass, when the sun went down and it was dark, that behold, there appeared a smoking oven and a burning torch that passed between those pieces.
Genesis 15:18
On the same day the Lord made a covenant with Abram, saying:
“To your descendants I have given this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the River Euphrates
- Abraham was called the (covenant) Friend of God (James 2:23).
James 2:23
And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.” And he was called the friend of God.
- We are part of Abraham’s covenant with God because we are Abraham’s seed(Romans 4:13).
Romans 4:13
The Promise Granted Through Faith
For the promise that he would be the heir of the world was not to Abraham or to his seed through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.
The woman Eve is not your problem cannot be your problem.
When there are trying situations people go back to time of Adam and Eve and point accusing fingers on Eve .
But not so for the born again child of God who has got Jesus as the last Adam.
1 Corinthians 15:21
For since by man came death, by Man also came the resurrection of the dead.
1 Corinthians 15:22
For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive.
1 Corinthians 15:45
And so it is written, “The first man Adam became a living being.” The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.
Hebrews 8:6
But now He has obtained a more excellent ministry, inasmuch as He is also Mediator of a better covenant, which was established on better promises.
The Need For A New Covenant
Hebrews 10:3
But in those sacrifices there is a reminder of sins every year.
Hebrews 10:4
For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and goats could take away sins.
The blood of Animals cannot take away sins, cannot serve as atonement but the blood of Jesus
Hebrews 10:8
Previously saying, “Sacrifice and offering, burnt offerings, and offerings for sin You did not desire, nor had pleasure in them” (which are offered according to the law),
Hebrews 10:9
then He said, “Behold, I have come to do Your will, O God.” He takes away the first that He may establish the second.
The purpose of the new covenant is about the forgiveness of Sin.
The Temple in Jerusalem had a veil that was a demarcation, but When Jesus said, “It is finished,” the veil was torn in two from top to bottom.
The significance of this is that we now have direct communication with God the Father and do not require any form of sacrifice because Jesus has paid the ultimate price making the sacrifice once and for all by His blood.
Matthew 27:51
Then, behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom; and the earth quaked, and the rocks were split,
• The First Covenant was finished because Jesus’ blood was shed. o Sin is no longer a problem for the believer.
• The Holy of Holies is now open. The presence of God is no longer in a building; it’s on the inside of us.
In the First Covenant, atonement for man was accomplished by the sacrifice of an animal (Hebrews 10:11).
The High Priest entered into the holy place in the Temple every year to offer a sacrifice of atonement (Exodus 30:10).
Atonement means “to cover,” and their sins were covered by the animal sacrifice, these activities are no more and have become abolished by the new covenant established by the blood of Jesus
- The New Covenant is in the blood of Jesus.
- Jesus is the Mediator of the New Covenant (Hebrews 9:14).
This Covenant is the will of God and without the shedding of blood, there is no remission (Hebrews 9:22).
- Remission is a release from bondage, forgiveness or pardon of sins, letting them go as if they had never been committed.
- Jesus appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself (Hebrews 9:26).
What Is In The New Covenant For You
- Having Identity With God
God recognizes you, God knows you, knows your name , knows your heart desires , hears your deepest cry
Ephesians 2:12
that at that time you were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world.
- Access To The Voice Of God
2 Corinthians 4:1
The Light of Christ’s Gospel
Therefore, since we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we do not lose heart.
2 Corinthians 4:2
But we have renounced the hidden things of shame, not walking in craftiness nor handling the word of God deceitfully, but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God.
2 Corinthians 4:3
But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing,
2 Corinthians 4:4
whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them.
- Forgiveness Of Sin
Hebrews 8:10
For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put My laws in their mind and write them on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people.
Hebrews 8:11
None of them shall teach his neighbor, and none his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them.
Hebrews 8:12
For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more.”
