The Power of the New Covenant

Published: Sept. 28, 2023, 1 p.m.

Jesus didn't come to simply patch up the old covenant. He came to replace it entirely. While the old covenant relied on sacrifices, rules, and striving for righteousness, the new covenant is all about Jesus \u2014 who perfectly fulfilled the law on our behalf. Now, our salvation is a gift, and sanctification isn't about earning it through our performance. It's about embracing our identity in Christ and growing in His likeness.

Key Scriptures:

\n

+ Hebrews 8:6. But now He has obtained a more excellent ministry, to the extent that He is also the mediator of a better covenant, which has been enacted on better promises.

\n


\n

+ Hebrew 8:13. When He said, \u201cA new\xa0covenant,\u201d He has made the first obsolete.\xa0But whatever is becoming obsolete and growing old is\xa0about to disappear.

\n


\n

+ Romans 6:10. For\xa0the death that He died, He died to sin once for all\xa0time; but the life that He lives, He lives to\xa0God.

\n


\n

+ Ephesians 4:20-24. But you did not\xa0learn Christ in this way,\xa0if indeed you\xa0have heard Him and have\xa0been taught in Him, just as truth is in Jesus,\xa0that, in reference to your former way of life, you are to\xa0rid yourselves of the\xa0old\xa0self, which is being corrupted in accordance with the\xa0lusts of deceit,\xa0and that you are to be\xa0renewed in the spirit of your minds,\xa0and to\xa0put on the\xa0new\xa0self, which\xa0in\xa0the likeness of\xa0God has been created in righteousness and holiness of the truth.
