To Establish a New Covenant

Introduction:

        1.    
According to 2 Peter 1:4, God's promises are "exceeding great and precious."
        2.    Because God's promises are so special, they deserve our careful attention.
        3.    One of God's promises is found in Jeremiah 31:31-34.
        4.    In this prophecy by Jeremiah, "God promised to establish a new covenant."

                      c.     God's new covenant "was established upon better promises."
               2.    Vs.7 -- God replaced the first covenant because it was not "faultless."
               3.    Vs.8-12 -- Because the old covenant was faulty, God had promised to replace it with a better
                      covenant.
               4.    Vs.13 -- After God established His new covenant, the first covenant became "old."
        B.   Hebrews 9
               1.    Vs.1-10 -- The service performed under the first covenant "could not make him that did the service
                      perfect, as pertaining to the conscience."

               2.    Vs.15-17 -- Jesus died so the new covenant would become effective.
               3.    Vs.24-26 -- Jesus offered Himself once as a perfect sacrifice "to put away sin."
        C.   Hebrews 10
               1.    Vs.1-4 -- The animal blood offered under the old covenant could not take away sins.
               2.    Vs.9 -- Jesus took away the first covenant to establish the second (Galatians 3:24-28; 5:4; 
                      Ephesians 2:14-16; Colossians 2:14).
               3.    Vs.15-17 -- The Lord's new covenant is the fulfillment of Jeremiah's prophecy.

Conclusion: Let us conclude our study by reading Colossians 3:16-17 and James 1:25.
