Betrayed Part 3 Series

Hebrews chapter 10 says, “8 Previously saying, “Sacrifice and offering, burnt offerings, and offerings for sin You did not desire, nor had pleasure in them ” (which are offered according to the law), 9 then He said, “Behold, I have come to do Your will, O God.” He takes away the first that He may establish the second. 10 By that will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all”.

Any other attempt of mankind to cause a ‘treaty making with God will not be accepted by Him. The new covenant was one sided and was put into effect by our Lord Jesus Christ when He paid for the sins of all mankind by His death on the cross. Thank you Precious Father. Thank you our Lord Jesus Christ.

So folks what’s it gonna be? No one is out of His Divine reach of Forgiveness. He stretched out His arms on the cross for you and me. He still stretches out His arms today for you. Will you agree with Him. He will not break His Promise to Forgive you and grant you eternal life, if you but ask Him.

Before we end these passages we need to just have a few things sink in on our minds and hearts.

First our Great God is a wonderful teacher. In fact He says in the Gospel of Matthew 23 this, “8 But you, do not be called ‘Rabbi’; for One is your Teacher, the Christ, and you are all brethren.” We are to call now man ‘teacher’ for we have One Teacher – our Lord Jesus Christ. Because of our sinful state we do not recognize how depraved we really are. Our Lord teaches us from His tests, exactly what we are truly made of. Here our Lord points out that we cannot keep our promises. The first Covenant of Sinai was insufficient due to mankind’s sinful hearts to drift to the dark side of sin.

Our God then reports here through His Love for us that He will do all the work. He writes new commandments in our hearts after we are born again. Oh yes, we still sin, but now we sin-less because He helps us.

Jeremiah 31 says this, “33 But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the LORD: I will put My law in their minds, and write it on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. 34 No more shall every man teach his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, ‘Know the LORD,’ for they all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them, says the LORD. For I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more.”

We see here that this new covenant excludes man from any part of it except being the beneficiary.

Once ‘Saved’ you see yourself for what you truly are and have done against our Supreme Love. Having another chance at life here and being motivated to serve our Loving Creator God, He IS able to use us to affect others.

“63 that you may remember and be ashamed, and never open your mouth anymore because of your shame, when I provide you an atonement for all you have done,” says the Lord GOD.’”

Once your eyes are opened you see the importance of life. No matter who you are and what you have obtained here in unimportant. The words of 1 Corinthians 13 become more realistic, “13 And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.”

The only thing that can be taken out of this world is love. May we love the Lord our God with all our hearts, minds, and strengths and others as ourselves.
