Friday: Further Study: Christ, the Law and the Covenants — 2 Comments

  1. The phrase "everlasting covenant" is used in this case to show us that God's grace never ceases from our lives. His grace is the only one that holds us strong and closer to Him.
    That is a great hope of life after death. Amen

  2. I just got through listening to the Sabbath School lesson at Loma Linda University Church and today it was presented by Timothy Gillespie who is an associate pastor. What was interesting and something I really hadn’t thought of before is that covenants are vehicles for God to reconcile us to Himself.

    The way it was presented is that it is not about a check list but about a relationship. That relationship is explicitly expressed in the new covenant, “I will be their God, and they shall be My people” (Heb 8:10 NKJV). That was the problem with the old covenant. The people had a relationship with a set of rules rather than with God which is what God wanted them to see and desire to change. I believe that is what Inge Anderson was getting at in her comment under Tuesday's lesson.

    When God is our friend and helper we will think, “Blessed be the LORD my Rock … My lovingkindness and my fortress, My high tower and my deliverer, My shield and the One in whom I take refuge” (Psa 144:1-2 NKJV). That is having a relationship like a little child (Mat 18:3).
