THE NEW COVENANT
March 28, 2004
Jer 31:31 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:
Jer 31:32 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:
Jer 31:33 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.
Jer 31:34 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.
Heb 10:1 For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect.
Heb 10:2 For then would they not have ceased to be offered? because that the worshippers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins.
Heb 10:3 But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins every year.
Heb 10:4 For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.
Heb 10:12 But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;
Heb 10:13 From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool.
Heb 10:14 For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.
Mat 26:28 For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.
2Co 3:7 But if the ministration of death, written and engraven in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not stedfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which glory was to be done away:
Moses received the law, which was in effect until Jesus Christ came to be offered as the final sacrifice once for all.
When the priests offered the sacrifice, there was no change to the person and it had to be done over every day of the week, month, or year.
Once Jesus offered Himself for the Sacrifice, and each person accepts Jesus as payment of his/her sins, that doesn't have to be repeated.
We have to be willing to do some of these changes ourselves. It is not enough to acknowledge that Jesus Christ is the Savior. You have to make a change in your lifestyle. In other words, you can't just say, "Okay, I accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Saviour and now my part is done." You have to do your part by prayer and Bible study--daily!.
Our will is not always God's will.
Heb 10:1 For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect.
Jesus' sacrifice, when accepted with the whole heart, changes the mind. If we want to follow the LORD, we will. We have to want to do the things God wants us to do.
You have to acknowledge and know that Jesus Christ is Saviour and Lord in order to be saved.
We all need to be guided in the direction of God in order to be saved. We have to know about Jesus.
The Holy Spirit draws us to repentance. One cannot be saved whenever they want to without the Holy Spirit drawing you first. The Holy Spirit draws you, you accept; and then, you begin to grow through study and prayers. If the Holy Spirit is not there to draw you, you can not be saved.
Once you have become a child of God, you will have a flesh change as far as filthy speaking, lying, stealing, cheating, murder, adultry, or whatever you have done in the flesh. Those things should cease within you; however, it may take some time before you break some of the bad habits you have developed over the years. It takes hard work and constant battling with some of these things.
Gen 6:6 And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.
We should want to be obedient to the Holy Spirit and to God and deny our flesh. We need to grow so that we can lead others to the Lord Jesus Christ.
Jer 31:34 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.
Heb 10:12 But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;
Heb 10:13 From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool.
Heb 10:14 For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.
Sanctification = Cleansing
We are to be sanctified, cleaned up. God's plan is that we grow daily and keep stepping toward Him, our Father, who dwells in heaven.

There has to be a change in the individual.
We have to be willing to do some of these changes ourselves. It is not enough to acknowledge that Jesus Christ is the Savior. You have to make a change in your lifestyle. In other words, you can't just say, "Okay, I accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Saviour and now my part is done." You have to do your part by prayer and Bible study--daily!.
Grow daily in grace and knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ!
Our will is not always God's will.

Godly sorrow leads us to respent.
The Holy Spirit draws us to repentance. One cannot be saved whenever they want to without the Holy Spirit drawing you first. The Holy Spirit draws you, you accept; and then, you begin to grow through study and prayers. If the Holy Spirit is not there to draw you, you can not be saved.
