NEW COVENANT IN THE BIBLE
WHAT IS THE NEW COVENANT
Welcome to our Christianity Oasis Christian walk study program. This is our The New Covenant in the Bible study on what is the New Covenant meaning and how the absolutely awesome New Covenant in the Bible message affects your be-YOU-tiful Christian walk.
NEW COVENANT IN THE BIBLE BLESSING
THE NEW COVENANT EXPLAINED
What is the New Covenant in the Bible? Before we can ask that question, another question comes to mind and heart that we must ask and answer first ... What is a Covenant?
A "Covenant" is an agreement between two parties. In this case the agreement is between
God and man. The Old Covenant was based on LAW given to the people by God, through
Moses. The Old Testament is based on this Old Covenant. This Covenant was sealed with blood:
|
Exodus
24:8
And Moses took the blood, and sprinkled it on the people, and
said, Behold the
blood of the covenant,
which the LORD hath made with you concerning all these words. |
But, the Bible
teaches us that God chose to create a NEW Covenant and this New
Covenant in the Bible is revealed by the New Testament.
Did you know that God broke His Old Covenant in the Bible which is shared
in the Old Testament and that He created a New Covenant in
the Bible which is shared the New Testament as well as
shared of in prophecy in the Old Testament and that this New
Covenant in the Bible is based on faith in Jesus?
Understanding the truth of the New Covenant in the Bible is
a
key ingredient in assisting us as we sojourn down the
Christian walk.
Our Father told us in the Bible that we
will KNOW that He is God cuz He tells us things that will happen
before they occur. Did our Father prophecy, through His servants the
prophets, of the coming of this New Covenant?
ABSOLUTELY ...
|
Jeremiah
31:31-34
Behold, the days come,
saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house
of Israel, and with the house of Judah: Not according to the
covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took
them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which
my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them,
saith the LORD: But this shall be the covenant that I will make
with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I
will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their
hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people. And
they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man
his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me,
from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the
LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember
their sin no more. |
He tells us that He will break His Old
Covenant (Old Testament) and even prophesied the timing that the Old
Covenant would end and the New Covenant would begin.
GOD'S NEW COVENANT IN THE BIBLE
THE NEW COVENANT PROPHECY
He said that the
Jewish people would consider His worth as ... 30 pieces of silver.
(The amount the Jewish religious leaders paid Judas to betray Jesus)
Now that's just too wild.
|
Zechariah
11:10-13
And I took my staff, even Beauty, and cut it asunder,
that I might break my covenant which I
had made with all the people.
And it was broken in that day: and so the poor of the flock that
waited upon me knew that it was the
Word of the LORD.
And I said unto them, If ye think good, give me my price; and if
not, forbear.
So they weighed for my price thirty
pieces of silver. And the
LORD said unto me, Cast it unto the potter: a goodly price that
I was prised at of them. And I took the
thirty pieces of silver,
and cast them to the potter in the house of
the LORD.
|
He KNEW the people would trade
Him up and even told the exact amount.
God prophesied through a prophet
hundreds of years before it happened.
|
Malachi 3:1
Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way
before me: and the LORD, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to His
temple,
even the messenger of the
Covenant, whom ye
delight in: behold, He shall come, saith the LORD of hosts. |
He even told Moses way back that the
people would do this.
|
Deuteronomy 31:16
And the LORD said unto Moses, Behold,
thou shalt sleep with thy fathers;
and this people will rise up, and go a whoring after the gods of
the strangers of the land, whither they go to be among them, and
will forsake me,
and break
my covenant which I have made with them. |
So, as our Father promised ...
He will prove HE is God by keeping us posted as to what will be, by
revealing it to the prophets. But our Father did not stop there ...
He said that He will make a NEW Covenant (Testament) and
explains what it will be.
NEW COVENANT IN THE BIBLE ON GRACE
THE NEW COVENANT LESSON
He said that He would place the LAW
within our hearts and forgive all of our sins and remember the sins no
more. Now this does NOT mean that the Law is of no effect, rather it is
saying that when you believe in Jesus, God will place the laws within
your heart. It is confirmed that He had performed this act in the New
Covenant (Testament) ... It says that God found the Old Covenant to
possess faults and that Jesus is the mediator of the New Covenant
(Testament)
|
Hebrews 8:6-8
But now hath He (Jesus)
obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also He (Jesus)
is the mediator of a
better covenant,
which was
established upon better
promises. For if that first covenant had
been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the
second.
For finding fault with them, He saith, Behold, the days come,
saith the Lord, when I will make a NEW COVENANT
with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah. |
God found fault with the Old
Covenant and a He made a better Covenant, which had better promises, as the first
was not faultless. So, in Love, God made a better Covenant that His people could abide
by with much better promises. Yes, Our Lord is perfect and what He does is perfect.
But ... A funny thing happened on the way to perfection. Mankind made poor choices and this had God regret creating us. Much like what we find in the book of Genesis ...
|
Genesis
6:6
And it repented the LORD that He had made man on the earth, and it
grieved Him at His heart.
|
God created man and man is NOT perfect.
NOT because the DESIGN was flawed, but rather because in LOVE, God
gave mankind FREE WILL. Throw in the enemy of our souls and the
choices from this FREE WILL altered the PERFECTION thereof.
And God ... Found fault.
So God's Perfect Covenant ... In a perfect world have been effective,
but His children fell and were not perfect and in LOVE, He created an
even BETTER Covenant that His children could deal with. When God found the FAULT with the Old Covenant ... God did not change
man by removing Free Will, but rather changed the COVENANT.
In this Covenant based on LOVE ...
HE will place the laws in the hearts of man.
The Old
Covenant is like a bride who married a man and obeyed out of
fear but lacked a foundation of Love ... The marriage failed just as
many marriages on earth do now for the same reasons. The result is
divorce ... A marriage based on fear
and obligation is as nothing compared to one based on LOVE. The
marriages with a foundation in LOVE can overcome all trials and
tribulations the world will throw at em. It is ETERNAL. God said that
He looked down on Earth and He could not find one soul that had done
good. NO, not one.
NEW COVENANT IN THE BIBLE IS BASED ON LOVE
THE NEW COVENANT IS HERE
So, in order to save His children, He had to
sacrifice His Son Jesus to establish a NEW blood Covenant worthy of
cleansing the sins of the people. In the days of Moses, blood was
sprinkled on the people to establish the Old Covenant. (Kinda like a
blood pact between friends) Now, in the New Covenant in the Bible, it is the blood
of Jesus that established the New Covenant.
|
Matthew 26:28
For this is my
blood
of the NEW TESTAMENT, which is shed for many for the remission of
sins.
|
In this marriage ... It is different in
that the bride would CHOOSE to obey their husband because they loved
Him in
FAITH because of what He has done for
them. He sacrificed His life so that those He loved might LIVE.
|
Hebrews 13:20
Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus,
that great shepherd of the sheep, through the
blood of the
everlasting covenant,
make you perfect in every good work to do His will, working in you
that which is well pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ; to
whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
|
JESUS is the MEDIATOR of the New
Covenant between God and mankind.
|
Hebrews 9:15-17
And for this cause He 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. For where a testament is, there must also of
necessity be the death of the testator. For a testament is
of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength
at all while the testator liveth.
NEW COVENANT IN THE BIBLE SUMMARY
WHAT IS THE NEW COVENANT CONCLUSION
|
This EVERLASTING NEW COVENANT IN THE
BIBLE is like a
marriage that will prove to be worthy and ETERNAL. They will make it
through the trials and tribulations that the world will throw at em
because ... They LOVE Him. That brings us to today with the CHOICE of
Faith and Love ... Is not our Father AWESOME?
