What makes a New Covenant an unbreakable covenant is that the New Covenant is not based on our works any longer but it is based on Jesus’ perfect works! We literally live in blessed days because we are qualified for ALL God promises because we are in Christ. In the New Covenant, God says “I WILL” and “YOU SHALL”. God says I will be your God and You shall be my people and it requires nothing of men’ good works. The focus is on Him. God is no longer saying “IF you do this, then I WILL bless you.” Thank God that by the obedience of one Man, many will be made Righteous (Romans 5:19)

Let’s read Jeremiah 31:33-35

33 “This is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after that time,” declares the LORD. “I will put my law in their minds and write it on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people. 34 No longer will a man teach his neighbor, or a man his brother, saying, ‘Know the LORD,’ because they will all know me, from the least of them to the greatest,” declares the LORD. “For I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no more.” 35 This is what the LORD says, he who appoints the sun to shine by day, who decrees the moon and stars to shine by night, who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar—the LORD Almighty is his name:

Guess what? We are living under this Covenant now, Can you imagine that we are actually living in the time where many prophets and Heroes of Faith have been dreaming and longing for? They could only IMAGINE how glorious this Covenant is going to be.

Let’s now read Ezekiel 36:25-28

25 I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean; I will cleanse you from all your impurities and from all your idols. 26 I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. 27 And I will put my Spirit in you and move you to follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws. 28 You will live in the land I gave your forefathers; you will be my people, and I will be your God.

So if you have experienced any of the followings, you know how to respond or react:

1. When Satan or someone tells you that “you cannot do this and that” – you can just tell him “as far as I’m concerned that God did not say ‘IF’ nor ‘BUT’ in the New Covenant as God only says ‘I WILL’ and ‘YOU SHALL’.”

2. When Satan or someone tells you that “you have a heart of stone” – you can just tell him “as far as I’m concerned that God has given me a heart of flesh.”

3. When Satan or someone tells you that “you will fail or you are not gonna make it as a Christian” – you can just tell him “as far as I’m concerned that God will put His Spirit and keep me to follow His decrees and His Laws.”

God does not even say what we MUST DO in the New Covenant, it is all about HIM doing. Praise Jesus for He has fulfilled all the requirements in the Old Covenant. You know what? Before Jesus gave His Spirit and shouted it is finished in John 19, He said “I am thirsty” – He was actually saying “Lord, give the the cup of God’s wrath – I am ready to drink it.” In Luke 22:4, Jesus says “Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done.” He drank the CUP OF GOD’S WRATH on our behalf! Can you imagine such love that he willingly took our place? God’s punishments and judgments that are supposed to fall on us FELL on Jesus’ body! The Romans must have thought that Jesus was physically thirty – hence why they gave Him a sponge soaked with wine! But the reality was that Jesus was fulfilling the scripture! (Thanks to Mick Mooney for sharing this revelation to me)

Let’s go back to Ezekiel 36, if you continue reading the chapter, you will find so many “I WILL’s” in the chapter. what amazes me is that in verse 32, the reason why God is doing this is for OUR SAKE! How glorious is that? God knew it from the beginning that we all will fall and we will have to keep giving sacrifices and offerings to Him, God knew all that! God has the right to not send Jesus to earth to save and to redeem us. Every human being deserves Hell … but you know what? In spite of everything, God CHOSE to send His Son to the world and whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.”

My friend that is the NEW COVENANT we live in. Christ has DONE it all, Christ has become our Righteousness, Christ has made us qualified for God’s promises and blessings, Christ has made God satisfied on our behalf, Christ has redeemed us, and Christ has saved us! Let’s rest in His goodness knowing that He SHOUTED “IT IS FINISHED”.

May you fall in love with Jesus all over again

The grace of the Lord Jesus be with God’s people. Amen.
