Jeremiah 31:31 says, "The time is coming," declares The Lord, "When I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah."
Last week's message illustrated how Jehovah God brought about the New Blood Covenant - He sent His Son Jesus Christ to earth to die on a cross shedding His own blood. As a result of this most important sacrificial act in all of history, when we humbly confess our sins to God all our sins are forgiven. This replaces the sacrificing of animals under the Old Blood Covenant that atoned for sins but was not forgiveness of sins.
There are numerous other blessings we receive when we decide to live under the New Blood Covenant by receiving Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior. How can we do this? Romans 10:9-10,12 says, "That if you confess with your mouth, Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved . . . For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile - the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on Him."
All of God's creation, whether Jew or Gentile, need to first believe in their heart that "Jesus Is Lord And God Raised Him From The Dead." We then need to proclaim these truths with our mouth since we speak of what is in our hearts. As we believe and speak these truths we are saved. Hallelujah!
When we know without a doubt we are saved we also will know without a doubt where we go when we leave this earth. Jesus says in John 14:2, "In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you." Jesus is preparing a place for all who have received Him as their Savior to live when they leave this earth, this wonderful place is called Heaven. Bless His Holy Name!
Living under the New Blood Covenant provides salvation and forgiveness of sins. However, there are many more blessings! Stay tuned!
May The Lord Bless You And Keep You This Day And Every Day,
