A New Covenant
Jeremiah 31:31-34
31“Behold, days are coming,” declares the LORD, “when I
will make a new covenant
with the house of Israel and with the house of
Judah,
32not like the covenant
which I made with their fathers in the day I took them by the hand to bring them out of
the land of Egypt, My covenant which they broke, although I was a husband to them,” declares the
LORD.
33“But this is the covenant which I
will make with the house of Israel after those days,” declares the LORD, “I will
put My law within them and on their heart I will write it; and I will be
their God, and they shall be My people. 34They will not teach again,
each man his neighbor and each man his brother, saying, ‘Know the LORD,’ for they will all
know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them,” declares the LORD, “for
I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more.”
All Believers (Jew &
Gentile) have been grafted into
Christand together we have receivedALL the
Promises of
Israel
Ephesians 2:11-13
11Therefore remember that
formerly you, the Gentiles in the
flesh, who are called “Uncircumcision” by the
so-called “Circumcision,” which is performed in the flesh by human hands—
12remember
that you were at that time separate
from Christ, excluded from the commonwealth of
Israel, and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world. 13But nowin Christ
Jesus you who formerly
were far off have
been brought near by the blood of Christ.
14For He Himself is our peace,
who madeboth groups into one and broke down
the barrier of the dividing wall, 15by abolishing in His flesh the
enmity, which is the Law of commandments contained in ordinances, so that in Himself He
might make the two
into one new man, thus establishing
peace, 16and
might reconcile them both
in one body to
God through the cross, by it having put to death the enmity. 17AND HE CAME AND PREACHED PEACE TO
YOU WHO WERE FAR AWAY, AND PEACE TO THOSE WHO WERE NEAR; 18for through Him
we both have
our access in one Spirit to the
Father.

Israel Is Not Cast
Away
Romans 11:1-2
- say then, God has not rejected His people, has He? May it
never be! For I too am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, of the tribe of
Benjamin. 2God has not rejected His people whom He
foreknew.
Romans 11: 11
- I say then, they did not stumble so as to fall, did they?
May it never be! But by their transgression salvation has come to the Gentiles, to
make them jealous. 12Now if their transgression is riches for the world and their
failure is riches for the Gentiles, how much more will their fulfillment
be!
Romans 11: 15
- For if their rejection is the reconciliation of the world, what will
their acceptance be but life from the dead?
Romans 11:17
- But if some of the branches were broken
off, and you, being a wild olive, were grafted in among them and became
partaker with them of the rich root of the olive
tree,
Romans 11:19
- You will say then, “Branches were broken off so that I might
be grafted in.”
Romans 11:23
- And they also, if they do not continue in their unbelief,
will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in
again.
Romans 11:24 -
For if you were cut off from what is by nature a
wild olive tree, and were grafted contrary to nature into a
cultivated olive tree, how much more will these who are the natural
branches be grafted into their own olive tree?
Romans 11: 25
- For I do not want you, brethren, to be uninformed of this
mystery—so that you will not be wise in your own estimation—that a partial hardening has
happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come
in; Note:

God's Promises
Salvation is the Free Gift of
Everlasting
Life
Hebrews 7:25 (NASB)
25Therefore He is able also to save forever those who
draw near to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for
them.
Numbers 23:19 -
“God is not a man, that He should lie, Nor a son of man, that He should repent;
Has He said, and will He not do it? Or has He spoken, and will He not
make it good?
Romans 11:29 - for the
gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.
Romans 5:15-16 -
15But the free gift is not like the transgression. For if by the
transgression of the one the many died, much more did the grace of God and the gift by
the grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ, abound to the many. 16The
gift is not like that which came through the one who sinned; for on the one hand the
judgment arose from one transgression resulting in condemnation, but on the
other hand the free gift arose from many transgressions resulting in
justification.
Romans 6:23 For the wages
of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal
life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 8:26-39 -
Our Victory in Christ
26In the same way the Spirit also helps our weakness; for we do
not know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with
groanings too deep for words; 27and He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of
the Spirit is, because He intercedes for the saints according
to the will of God.
28And we know that God causes all things to work
together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.
29For those whom He foreknew, He also predestined to become conformed to the
image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brethren; 30and
these whom He predestined, He also called; and these whom He
called, He also justified; and these whom He justified, He also
glorified.
31What then shall we say to these things? If God is for
us, who is against us? 32He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him
over for us all, how will He not also with Him freely give us all things? 33Who
will bring a charge against God’s elect? God is the one who justifies; 34who is
the one who condemns? Christ Jesus is He who died, yes, rather who was raised, who is at
the right hand of God, who also intercedes for us.
35Who will separate us from the love of
Christ? Will tribulation, or distress, or
persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or
peril, or sword? 36Just as it is written,
“FOR YOUR SAKE WE ARE BEING PUT TO DEATH ALL DAY LONG;
WE WERE CONSIDERED AS SHEEP TO BE SLAUGHTERED.”
37But in all these
things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us.
38For I am convinced that neither
death, nor life, nor angels, nor
principalities, nor things present, nor things to
come, nor powers, 39nor height, nor
depth, nor any other created thing, will be able
to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our
Lord.
Nothing Can Separate Us From Christ. Nothing! That is God's
Promise to us who have believed. Glory to God.

A New Covenant
Hebrews 8:6-13
6 But now He has obtained a more excellent
ministry, by as much as He is also the mediator of a
better covenant, which has been enacted on better
promises.
7For if that first
covenant had been faultless, there would have been no occasion sought for a
second. 8 For finding fault with them, He says,
“BEHOLD, DAYS ARE COMING, SAYS THE LORD, WHEN I
WILL EFFECT A NEW COVENANT WITH THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL AND WITH
THE HOUSE OF JUDAH;
9NOT LIKE THE
COVENANT WHICH I MADE WITH THEIR FATHERS ON THE DAY WHEN I TOOK THEM BY THE HAND TO
LEAD THEM OUT OF THE LAND OF EGYPT; FOR THEY DID NOT CONTINUE IN MY COVENANT, AND I DID NOT CARE
FOR THEM, SAYS THE LORD.
10“FOR THIS IS THE
COVENANT THAT I WILL MAKE WITH THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL AFTER THOSE
DAYS, SAYS THE LORD:
I WILL PUT MY LAWS INTO THEIR
MINDS,
AND I WILL WRITE THEM ON THEIR
HEARTS. AND I WILL BE THEIR GOD, AND THEY SHALL BE MY PEOPLE.
11“AND THEY SHALL NOT TEACH
EVERYONE HIS FELLOW CITIZEN, AND EVERYONE HIS BROTHER, SAYING, ‘KNOW THE
LORD,’
FOR ALL WILL KNOW ME, FROM THE LEAST TO
THE GREATEST OF THEM.
12 “FOR I WILL BE MERCIFUL TO THEIR INIQUITIES,
AND I WILL REMEMBER THEIR SINS NO MORE.”
13 When He said, “A new
covenant,” He has made the first obsolete. But whatever is becoming
obsolete and growing old is ready to disappear.
A WARNING To
All Believers
2 Timothy 4:2-4
2preach the word; be ready in season and out of season;
reprove, rebuke, exhort, with great patience and instruction. 3For
the time will come when they will not endure sound
doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves
teachers in accordance to their own desires, 4and will turn
away their ears from the truth and will turn aside to myths
That time has come!
