Covenant with Jesus Christ

 Amen. This is the bedrock of our salvation and the anchor for our souls. Having faith in the covenant with Jesus Christ means placing our complete trust not in our own performance, but in the binding, blood-sealed, eternal agreement initiated by God the Father and fulfilled by God the Son on our behalf.

This New Covenant is far superior to the old, as it is based on better promises and enacted by a perfect sacrifice.

"This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you."

- Luke 22:20 (NIV)

"For this reason Christ is the mediator of a new covenant, that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance—now that he has died as a ransom to set them free from the sins committed under the first covenant."

- Hebrews 9:15 (NIV)

What is the Covenant with Jesus Christ?

It is a sovereign, unilateral promise from God, where He declares:

· "I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no more." (Jeremiah 31:34)

· "I will put my law in their minds and write it on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people." (Jeremiah 31:33)

· "I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you..." (Ezekiel 36:26)

Our part is not to earn this covenant, but to have faith in the Mediator of this covenant—Jesus Christ. We receive its benefits by grace through faith.

A Prayer of Faith in the Covenant

Heavenly Father,

I come before You today, not trusting in my own righteousness, which is like filthy rags, but placing my full faith in the New Covenant sealed by the blood of Your Son, Jesus Christ.

I believe that through His sacrificial death, my sins are fully forgiven and remembered no more. I believe that through His resurrection, I have been given a new heart and eternal life.

I receive the Holy Spirit, the guarantee of this covenant, who writes Your law on my heart and empowers me to live as Your child.

Thank you for this unbreakable, eternal covenant of grace. My hope is built on nothing less than Jesus' blood and righteousness.

In His mighty name, I pray. Amen.

A Poem: "Faith in the Covenant"

"Faith in the Covenant"

My faith is not in works I do,

However noble,kind, or true.

My faith is not in prayers I pray,

Or in the words I learn to say.

My faith is in a covenant sealed,

A glorious truth,now revealed.

It was not signed by my own hand,

But by the Son of God,so grand.

This covenant, of blood and grace,

Has taken my condemned,guilty place.

It speaks a word,"It is done!"

The victory is fully won.

Upon this rock, my trust I place,

Upon this covenant of grace.

For God has sworn,His Word is sure,

In Christ,my hope is safe and secure.

So let the storms of life now beat,

Upon this foundation,strong and sweet.

My soul is anchored in this plea—

The covenant Christ made for me.

Faith in the covenant, strong and true,

My life is hidden,Lord, in You.

A promise kept,a debt now paid,

A work of God,forever made.

May your faith rest securely in the finished work of Christ. This covenant cannot be broken, because its success depends on God's faithfulness, not ours. You are eternally secure in Him.
