New Covenant – Christ Luke 1:32: Jesus came to fulfill (uphold) all these in our lives as we surrender our lives to Him (creates Salvation) and honor the God of all the Covenants. Jesus was one with the Father and did only the will of the Father and if we are like Him we will do the same. Through His death, burial and resurrection and through our death burial and resurrection with Him, we can and will:
1) Walk with God. That we can walk with God as Adam did before he sinned. Jesus purchased back our relationship with the Father.
2) Use His name as we wear His name.
3) Provide safety.
4) Blessing or curses of Gods people as we are grafted in as his people. He will deliver us if we stay focused on Him and His will.
5) Provide and care for us.
6) Keep us and help us build His kingdom on earth and we can meet him anywhere, in any nation and in every place, at anytime, because of Jesus.
7) Christ: Jesus is the head of Christ and we can be complete in Christ and be the body of Christ, being one with Him. Being the light of the world, bread of life, salt of the earth, living epistles and sonship. Tabernacle: Dwelling place of the Holy Spirit, the body.
8) Renewal of Promise, except for all: Promised Land, flowing with milk and honey, because His people walk with God and each other in Covenant relationship. What we do to the least of these, we do to Him.
** Conditions:
1) Giving Him our lives. Crucified with Christ. (Dieing to self (or putting God first in our lives, seeking for direction), daily. Sacrifice our individuality for His and the body.)
2) We have to keep His Ways, Statutes and Commandments and stay in the boat (keeping His plan).
3) Represent His will in His absence to all.
4) Stay focused on Him, His purpose and plan for us and put Him first in all things. Build His kingdom here on earth and not our own.
