Reminders Re: The New Covenant

The New Covenant is entirely built upon the person, personality, and finished work of Jesus of Nazareth—that’s first.

Its ministry is His ministry—which is HIGHER—all of it mediated personally by Him—who is ABOVE--and is directly guaranteed by His personal promises—which are UTTERLY UNBREAKABLE.

The New Covenant satisfies the every desire of the Father.

The New Covenant came when Jesus came—the two are inseparable.

The New Covenant dispenses with the Old.

And, friends, it is IMPERATIVE that you internalize what I'm about to write: The New Covenant depends not on us.

The New Covenant is the Way and Word of JESUS, WRITTEN on our hearts by His Spirit, and it MAKES us sons and daughters of God—ALREADY.

The New Covenant is NOT instituted by our carefully being instructed in it, and internalizing its laws: it is built upon our Abiding in its basis… Jesus Himself. 

The New Covenant does not require hierarchies, accreditations, professional practitioners like the Old did. It requires our personally accepting the mercy He offers and the complete forgiveness of God—directly.

The New Covenant asks of us our forgetfulness of who we used to be, our receiving of who He’s making us, and the joyous walking with Him as He does all the work of His Kingdom-heart.

Friends, that’s the New. That’s the description of the lifestyle we’re meant to be living, daily. Anything less is, simply, not it. (And is in danger of trying, quite foolishly, to retreat to the Old.)
