Listen "New Covenant In Christ"
Episode Synopsis
**Jer 20:7-8**7 O Lord, You have deceived me and I was deceived; You have overcome me and prevailed. I have become a laughingstock all day long; Everyone mocks me. 8 For each time I speak, I cry aloud; I proclaim violence and destruction, Because for me the word of the Lord has resulted In reproach and derision all day long.**Heb 8:7-9**7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no occasion **sought for a second.**8 For finding fault with them, He says, "BEHOLD, DAYS ARE COMING, SAYS THE LORD, WHEN I WILL EFFECT A NEW COVENANT WITH THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL AND WITH THE HOUSE OF JUDAH; 9 NOT LIKE **THE COVENANT** WHICH I MADE WITH THEIR FATHERS ON THE DAY WHEN I TOOK THEM BY THE HAND TO LEAD THEM OUT OF THE LAND OF EGYPT; FOR THEY DID NOT CONTINUE IN MY **COVENANT**, AND I DID NOT CARE FOR THEM, SAYS THE LORD. Heb 8:10FOR THIS IS THE COVENANT THAT I WILL MAKE WITH THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL AFTER THOSE DAYS, SAYS THE LORD:**1. Renewed relationship to the law**a. Heb 8:10I WILL PUT MY LAWS INTO THEIR MINDS, AND I WILL WRITE THEM ON THEIR HEARTS.b. Ezekiel 36:26-2726 "Moreover, I will give you a **new heart** and put a **new spirit** within you; and I will **remove the heart of stone** from your flesh and give you a **heart of flesh**. 27 "I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will be careful to observe My ordinances.c. Romans 7:12-1312 So then, the Law is holy, and the commandment is holy and righteous and good. 13 Therefore did that which is good become a cause of death for me? May it never be! Rather it was sin, in order that it might be shown to be sin by effecting my death through that which is good, so that through the commandment **sin would become utterly sinful.** d. Rom 8:33 For what the Law could not do, weak as it was through the flesh, God did: sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and as an offering for sin, He condemned sin in the flesh,e. 2 Cor 5:1717 Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come. f. Adam Clark commentaryAll their affections, passions, and appetites, shall be purified and filled with holiness and love to God and man; so that they shall willingly obey, and feel that love is the fulfilling of the law: instead of being written on tables of stone, they shall be written on the fleshly tables of their hearts. **2. Renewed relationship with God****a. Heb 8:10**AND I WILL BE THEIR GOD, AND THEY SHALL BE MY PEOPLE. **b. Ezekiel 37:26-27**26 "I will make a covenant of peace with them; it will be an **everlasting covenant** with them. And I will place them and multiply them, and will set My sanctuary in their midst **forever**. 27 "My dwelling place also will be with them; and I will be their God, and they will be My people. **2 Cor 4:3-4**3 And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, 4 in whose case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving so that they might not see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. Acts 9:18-1918 And immediately there fell from his eyes something **like scales**, and he regained his sight, and he got up and was baptized; 19 and he took food and was strengthened. **2 Cor 3:14-18**14 But their minds were hardened; for until this very day at the reading of the old covenant the same veil remains unlifted, **because it is removed in Christ.** 15 But to this day whenever Moses is read, a veil lies over their heart; 16 but whenever a person turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. 17 Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. 18 But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as from the Lord, the Spirit. **3. Renewed relationship with each other**a. Heb 8:1111 "AND THEY SHALL NOT TEACH EVERYONE HIS FELLOW CITIZEN, AND EVERYONE HIS BROTHER, SAYING, 'KNOW THE LORD,' FOR ALL WILL KNOW ME, FROM THE LEAST TO THE GREATEST OF THEM. **i. Isa 2:3**3 And many peoples will come and say, "Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, To the house of the God of Jacob; That He may teach us concerning His ways And that we may walk in His paths." For the law will go forth from Zion And the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.**ii. Isa 54:13**13 "All your sons will be taught of the Lord; And the well-being of your sons will be great.**iii. 1 John 2:20-21**20 But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you all know. 21 I have not written to you because you do not know the truth, but because you do know it, and because no lie is of the truth.**iv. 1 John 2:27**27 As for you, the anointing which you received from Him abides in you, and you have no need for anyone to teach you; but as His anointing teaches you about all things, and is true and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you abide in Him.**2 Peter 1:2-3**2 Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord; 3 seeing that His divine power has granted to us everything pertaining to life and godliness, through the true knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and excellence.**Heb 8:12-13**12 "FOR I WILL BE MERCIFUL TO THEIR INIQUITIES, AND I WILL REMEMBER THEIR SINS NO MORE." 13 When He said, "A new covenant," He has made the first obsolete. But whatever is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to disappear.
