God’s Eternal Covenant
God is a Covenant making God: He made His Covenant with Adam, even after he sinned. He made His Covenant with Noah, even after the whole world was destroyed by a flood. He made His Covenant with Abraham. He continued making a Covenant with Moses, the People of Israel, and King David. All of these pointed to Jesus, and to The Eternal Holy Covenant that He established through Jesus sacrificed body, and His shed blood, through the Eternal Holy Spirit. (Read The Book of Hebrews for important details of this Eternal Covenant. )
The Beauty Of This Covenant
Now, if we review all these covenants that point to this Holy Eternal Covenant, you will find that they strictly rely on the behavior of we who are mere human beings; however, the beauty of this Holy Covenant is different: Once Jesus came as the Messiah, and He shed His blood, as the “Lamb of God, “as well as sacrificed His Body, it was “finished.” Your see, He redeems us! We don’t! (Hebrews 9:12) He paid our sin debt in full. We can’t! He provided sanctification. (Hebrews 10:10) That is He made us holy, continued/continues doing so to form us into Christ’s image, (Romans 8:29), and He set us apart for God’s holy use. This is a miracle! In fact, He made us perfect in God’s sight! (Hebrews 10:14) Other’s viewpoints of us do not matter. He then moved by His Spirit to put God’s laws on our hearts, and He placed them in our minds. (Hebrews 10: 15-17) It’s no longer a matter of us keeping God’s law in or own strength. We become new creations empowered to keep them (2 Corinthians 5:17) ; additionally, our sins and lawless acts God no longer are held against us. (Hebrews 10:17) Keep in mind God also opened the way into the Holy of Holies, where Jesus represents us before the Father. We now could come into God’s presence individually. (Hebrews 10:17-19) For Jesus IS The Way The Truth, and The giver of LIFE! (John 14:6) No other covenant made by God or man could provide such a glorious, fantastic, marvelous or beautiful outcome. And only God can do this.
Doing What Couldn’t Be Done Before
Therefore, as our scripture picture tells us in Deuteronomy 7:9, “God IS Faithful.” He will, indeed, keep this “covenant of love.” He will do so, not only for our generation, but He will offer this covenant for a thousand generations to come. He does this for those who now have, because of His love, mercy and grace, the ability to keep His commandments. Before God established this Covenant, it could not be done before. I pray you embrace fully this Eternal Holy Covenant God wants to make with you. If you do so, it will change your life. You can now R.E.S.T. in God’s Holy Eternal Covenant that He wants to make with you. (Hebrews 4:9-11.)
P R A Y E R
Dear Heavenly Father,
I am so very thankful that you are a God who makes covenants.
I am especially grateful for the Covenant of ALL Covenants — Your Eternal Covenant.
I bow before You to embrace Your redemption.
I yield to You, through Jesus, to be sanctified wholly by Your Holy Spirit, because of Jesus’s sacrificed body.
I praise you that, because of all you did, and do, you declare me perfect in Your sight.
Please, Lord, continue putting Your laws on/in my heart, and write them in my mind.
I hold on tight that my sins and lawless acts are no longer remembered by You.
As You have opened the way into Your Holiest Place, I come now to be sprinkled, and cleansed from guilt and from shame, as you wash me whiter than snow, from the inside out. I come to R.E.S.T. I come to experience Rock-solid Eternal Spirituality Today.
In Jesus Name I prayer: AMEN !
