The New Testament Covenant -
God's amazing New Testament covenant is between God the Father and His born again blood bought children. This covenant supersedes all previous covenants, that God made with mankind. It is far more embracing than God's previous covenants with Noah, after the flood; with Abraham and his descendants and with Moses and the children of Israel. This was a new covenant with each individual person who repents and is baptised as an everlasting child of God, by the Holy Spirit, into the true church, the body of Christ. It far surpasses in grandeur and extent God's previous covenants with mankind. This covenant secures everlasting relationship, through the shed blood of Jesus Christ, between God the Father and His recreated Spirit filled children.

Jesus Is Lord of All. Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is Lord of all both in heaven, on earth and under the earth. Every Christian who is truly born again, through the Holy Spirit, must exalt Jesus, as their own personal Lord! He is after all the One who has redeemed you and all His born again children, from the sin and darkness of Satan's kingdom. This happened as soon as your recognition of Him and your repentance of the burden of sins, at that very point, you gained eternal life, as a child of God. From then on your destiny, forever, is under the Lordship of Jesus Christ. What an incredible gift of His new life has been bestowed upon you, when you were resurrected from eternal damnation to sin!

We Are Redeemed Through His Blood. Romans chapter 5 verse 8 tells us that God demonstrates or shows His love towards mankind while they still live in the sin and degradation of the world. Christ died for us while we were yet in a fallen, sinful condition. When, through sin and its deeds, we were enemies of God and His righteousness, we were able to be reconciled to God. We were reconciled when Christ died on the Cross and His shed blood enabled all mankind to be saved. We were reconciled to God through Jesus Christ and saved for eternity by His life, abiding in us.

Life Is in the Blood. We read in Leviticus chapter 17 verse 11 that our physical life is in the blood. All human existence as well as all kinds of land animals, birds and fish, can only survive, because of a flow of blood through their bodies. Without our blood flowing through our physical bodies, the life of every human being would be extinguished, almost immediately. Our spiritual life is cleansed by the blood of Jesus Christ, shed on our behalf, on the Cross at Calvary. It is the blood that cleanses us from sin and shame. No Christian can be born again and have eternal life without the remission of their sins and them obtaining forgiveness of sins through the precious blood of the Lord.

God dwells with the humble. We read and learn that the everlasting God lives and dwells within His people, who have a humble and contrite spirit. Isaiah chapter 57 verse 15 informs us of this wonderful and amazing fact. In doing so God is well able to revive the distressed spirit of mankind. These are those people who are overwhelmed with sorrow, by the burden of their sins, but are then enlightened and able to serve Him, with gratitude.
