For if that first covenant (the covenant of Law) had been faultless, there would have been no occasion to look for a second.
For God Himself finds fault with them when He says: "Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will establish a new covenant (the covenant of Grace) 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 (the covenant of Grace) 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 neighbour and each one his brother, saying, 'Know the Lord, for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest of them. For I will be merciful toward their iniquities, and I will remember their sins no more!
In speaking of a new covenant, He makes the first one obsolete. And what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away…
This faulty computer monitor was placed on a typewriter and unintentionally creating a combination of an unique computer system with UPS. However, it does not work but worth a laugh... because what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away…!
When comes to Law, God used only His finger, but when comes to Grace, He offered up His own Body. Through the Cross, Jesus had replaced the Law with Grace.
Is grace cheap? Some of us might think that grace is cheap, but think about it, grace costs God His own Begotten Son!
When the devil gives you LAW, remember to press 'Move to Trash' & click 'Empty Trash', and most important thing is - DON'T click 'RESTORE' to inbox, only save JESUS & His GRACE in your inbox.
