THIS NEW COVENANT


The old covenant (The Ten Commandments) was made to break. It's purpose was not to make us look like saints, but to expose us as sinners. Only God can fulfill the complete Law.
Romans 3:20 Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in His sight; for by the law is the knowledge of sin.
The promise of the new covenant is all about grace, fulfilled in Jesus Christ as He gave His life for us. It is not written on tables of stone or parchment somewhere. It is written by the pen of the Holy Spirit on the fleshly tables of the heart.
When we believe from our hearts in Jesus Christ, there is a transformation that takes place.
2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ he is a new creature; old things are passed away; behold all things are become new.
The new heart gives us a desire to know and serve The Lord, to hate sin and the sinful way, and to pursue righteousness.
How about your heart? Is it right with God?
