Since today is Christmas Eve I wanted to share with y'all a passage that I read today in Hebrews that speaks of the new covenant that the Lord has made with his people, i.e. those who believe in Jesus Christ. According to scripture, his people no longer have to sacrifce animals or know him through others because He has paid the ultimate price and we know him for He is merciful to us and will remember our sin no more. Praise Him for all He has done and thank-you Lord for sending your son to die for our sins so that we may be saved. Merry Christmas!
“Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will establish a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah, not like the covenant that I made with their fathers on the day when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt. For they did not continue in my covenant,and so I showed no concern for them, declares the Lord. For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the Lord: I will put my laws into their minds, and write them on their hearts, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. And they shall not teach, each one his neighbor and each one his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest. For I will be merciful toward their iniquities, and I will remember their sins no more.” Hebrews 8:8-12
