New Covenant

19 February 2013
 
Matthew 26:28  For this is My blood of the New Covenant which concerning many is being poured out for remission of sins.

Jesus said this is the new covenant, when He said that what did He mean? It is surprising that we all have heard of this new covenant, but when asked what does it mean, we receive many different answers. Even as you read this, you may well say that you are unsure of the answer that you do have.

This new covenant is in the blood of Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God, we are marked by the blood of the Lamb and the angel of death will pass over us and we live eternally with God. Just as in the old covenant the blood of the lamb was used to mark the door posts and the angel of death passed by, yet then we were under the law and we would die. Now we are under grace and our sins are forgiven as if the law itself does not exist. All our sins are forgiven and we have been atoned for, redeemed, and set free forever. This is the new covenant for all those who believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, who died, was raised from the dead and will come again soon.

Be encouraged to accept this new covenant, it is made in the blood of Jesus Christ, believe and live.
 
David

Point to ponder: Jesus died that you may live forever.

Question to consider: Do you keep your side of the new covenant?
