Looking for the blessed hope and the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Christ Jesus (Titus 2:13)

THE NEW COVENANT, SUMMARY Hebrews 8:8 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; (1) "Better" than the Mosaic covenant not morally, but efficaciously ( Heb. 7:19); (Rom. 8:3); (Rom. 8:4). (2) Established on "better" (that is, unconditional) promises. In the Mosaic Covenant, God said, "If ye will"; (Exo. 19:5); in the New Covenant, He says, "I will"; ( Heb. 8:10); ( Heb. 8:12). (3) Under the Mosaic Covenant, obedience sprang from fear; ( Heb. 2:2); ( Heb. 12:25-27); under the New Covenant, from a willing heart and mind. ( Heb. 8:10). (4) The New Covenant secures the personal revelation of the Lord to every believer ( Heb. 8:11). (5) the complete oblivion of sins ( Heb. 8:12); ( Heb. 10:17); ( Heb. 10:3). (6) rests upon an accomplished redemption (Mat. 26:27); (Mat. 26:28); (1Co. 11:25); ( Heb. 9:11); ( Heb. 9:12); ( Heb. 9:18-23). (7) and secures the perpetuity, future conversion, and blessing of Israel. (Jer. 31:31-40). See also "Kingdom (Old Testament)," and (2Sa. 7:8-17). The New Covenant is the eighth, thus speaking of resurrection and of eternal completeness.
