But isn’t it amazing how we can also have things in our lives or our thinking for a long time, and not realise they’re outdated and need to be cleared out as well!
There may be outdated prejudices passed down from previous generations, or wrong thinking about who we are and what God has given us in the New Covenant. God has said His Old Covenant is now out of date and it’s important to know, because if that’s the case (and it is), then we need to check we’re holding on to the New Covenant and enjoying the benefits of it, and not mixing it up with the old one.
Paul says the New Covenant is not based on our performance but on what Jesus has done.😊 It’s time to check we have the New Covenant in our belief cupboard so we can draw on it any time.
It says we enter into God’s presence night or day through Jesus shed blood. It says we’re forgiven of all our sins past, present and future because Jesus died once and for all and God will remember our sins no more. (Hebrew 10)
I love the New Covenant, don’t you? It’s wonderful because it’s so much better than the old one and the Lord is reminding us today to go and check with Him that we have a New Covenant understanding and not mixing in a bit of the old one by trying to do better with our own efforts, bearing in mind things that are out of date are usually a health hazard!😊
Galatians 5:4 NLT For if you are trying to make yourselves right with God by keeping the law, you have been cut off from Christ! You have fallen away from God’s grace.
Thought provoking isn’t it? All of Christ and what He has done for us - none of me or you. Thank You Lord.
Have a blessed weekend.x😊
