1John 3:20 If your heart condemns you God is greater than your hearts and knows all things
Problem – Our heart condemns us.
We have a sin consciousness that makes us miss the mark about our life and its meaning.
That makes us judge ourselves on how good or bad we are, and condemnation emphasizes the negative. Thanksgiving disappears and makes us block God out in our minds.
That kills our relationship with God but not God’s relationship with us. (Depart from me…Luke 5:8)
God lives for that relationship and is greater than our reckoning of things and he has the solution for this self-disqualification of ours.
Directive in Old Covenant
For about 1500 years (Abraham 2000) God said kill an animal every day to remind yourselves that your sin has separated you from me and killed the relationship for You! (Isaiah 59).
The sign in Old Covenant
When you sacrifice that animal I will resurrect the relationship you have killed, because you will experience forgiveness for your sin and the relationship will come alive. JESUS IS THE RELATIONSHIP
That shows you my ongoing plan to live in relationship with you despite your problem of sin and separation. Then there’s an upgrade signified by the Day of Atonement once a year (seven times sprinkling of blood)
Ultimate plan for New Covenant
To relate to you all with the same closeness that I have with my son Jesus.
So the slaying of these animals was a temporary arrangement until Jesus came because the slaying of animals could not achieve this closeness (Hebrews 9:14 seven times…).
When Jesus dies I will resurrect his life and the bond of relationship of love and trust I have with him will be placed within you by The Holy Spirit. blessing you in a new dimension for all time.
Requirement
This New Covenant will require you to believe in and live in this life together with us for all time and in all circumstances.
