The New Covenant means God does everything for us and we get all the benefits without having to deserve or earn them! The New Covenant of Grace is an agreement between Jesus and the Father that God will relate to us and bless us based solely on the perfection and finished work of Christ on our behalf..In this covenant we are the beneficiaries simply by believing in Christ. We need do nothing, for Christ has done it all, and we get all the benefits, rights, and privileges as beloved sons and daughters of God. The main clause of this covenant is that our sins and iniquities He will remember NO MORE and that we are righteous (in right relationship with God) with the righteousness of Christ Himself (2 Co. 5:21, Heb. 10:16-7). This covenant is inaugurated by the blood of Christ, which took away our sins and perfected us forever! Believing this caused us to receive the gift of Life Eternal - the very life/Spirit of Christ put within us, producing the goal of the covenant - knowing God in intimate, perfect, continuous, unbroken fellowship! We were made to be in love-union with Him forever and Jesus brought that about and it's a free gift. Everything is in Christ and we receive everything when we receive Him by faith - that means we live in the ALREADY - we already have life, acceptance, forgiveness, holiness, sanctification, completion, righteousness, oneness, freedom, perfection, GLORY. We have it already in Christ, now and forever, as a gift. We have been delivered from the realm of law, sin, condemnation, and death through being crucified with Christ and we have been placed in the realm of grace, freedom, righteousness and life by being raised with Christ. Jesus maintains this covenant and maintains His own life within us, taking care of everything for us both now and forever. This covenant can only fail if Jesus Himself and His sacrifice were to somehow fail - which is impossible! So this covenant is secure forever. All as a gift of grace!
With love,
