The Covenants

As great as the Old Testament covenant was,
and as wonderful as all of its blessings were,
The author of Hebrews declares that the new
covenant in Jesus' blood is even better.

"But now He has obtained a more excellent
ministry, inasmuch as He is also Mediator
of a better covenant, which was established
on better promises."
...............Hebrews 8:6

When we receive the Lord Jesus Christ, we
enter into a new covenant and a new righteousness.
This is not a covenant we keep for ourselves,
for that is something we could never accomplish.
The good news of the Gospel is that Jesus has
already accomplished it for us.

He became sin for us so that we could become
the very righteousness of God in Him.

We receive this righteousness through faith in
Him. So now, all the blessings of this covenant
are secure in Him.

This new covenant in Jesus is more of a
healing covenant than the old one.
In fact, it is a much better one, for the Healer
Himself is now present in us by His Spirit.
So we are more than qualified to choose life
and receive healing in Him.

LORD, We choose life.
We choose blessing.
We choose Jesus!
Thank You, LORD Jesus, for redeeming us
from the curse of the Law.
We receive our redemption now.
Thank You for becoming sin for us, that we
might be made the righteousness of God in You.
We receive our forgiveness.
Thank You that the new covenant, Your body
given for us, Your blood shed for us.
We receive it!
Thank You, LORD, that in Jesus Christ we are
qualified for every blessing.
Thank You for healing us and giving us your
prosperity.
We receive it!
...............In the name of Jesus!
