A Better Covenant

 

Today's verse is Hebrews 8:6

But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises.

    Before the Cross, the previous Covenant was based upon the Law, the keeping of ordinances, and the killing of Sacrifices, all of which we now know was designed not to redeem those that transgressed, but to show that all have transgressed, that all were or are guilty. But, in the midst of it all were the shadow of the better Covenant, of the better promises. For even under the old Covenant the everlasting Gospel had its recipients, for example: David, Elijah, Elisha, and all the others which believed God, and, therefore, Righteousness was imputed unto them. Such is the nature of the better Covenant, for Jesus Christ paid the price for all who have transgressed, so that all that will, may trust in His Work upon the Cross which was Finished by his Resurrection, which is then secured in those that believe by the indwelling of His Spirit, who works in us to do his good Will, pleasing unto a Righteous and Holy God. Amen.

To God be the Glory
