This is my experience, and my eyes have been opened to the the New Covenant in powerful ways that I never understood it before. The simplest way to describe this would be that Jesus has now become EVERYTHING to me, the only foundation I stand on because all my other foundations have been torn down and ripped apart. Jesus IS my truth, whereas he was just part of the equation before. Would love to dialogue with anyone else who has had a similar experience or just wants to talk about what the New Covenant means to them. Thanks for sharing.

I have come to understand Jesus the way that you seem to have, but it is the simple truth of the Gospel as held by evengelicals in general, as I think you have expressed. Perhaps there is more than you have stated that I will not agree to. But He is the center of Christianity and it is completely by God's grace through faith that we are saved and forgiven of our sinfulness. The new testament is the covenant of grace or unmerited favor, ratified by the blood of Jesus on the cross. The old covenant or testament speaks of the covenants with the Jews throughout history, as well as the Mosaic covenant with the law. The covenant of grace occurred because Jesus kept the law of God perfectly on my behalf, thus fulfilled it, and credited to me His righteous in exchange for my sinfulness when He died for me. He is my near kinsman/redeemer Who paid my debt and bought me from satan's domain with His blood. He is God in human flesh, crucified, buried and risen. Is that what you are saying? Blessings and welcome, Willa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
