VIII. MAIN BODY:
A. Not like the old covenant made with their forefathers and Moses
"It will not be like the covenant that I made with their forefathers on the day when I grasped them by the hand to help and relieve them and to lead them out from the land of Egypt,"
Time of Moses blood was used to seal the agreement:
Hebrews 9:18-20 (Amplified Bible)
9:18 So even the [old] first covenant (God’s will) was not inaugurated and ratified and put in force without the shedding of blood.
9:19 For when every command of the Law had been read out by Moses to all the people, he took the blood of slain calves and goats, together with water and scarlet wool and with a bunch of hyssop, and sprinkled both the Book (the roll of the Law and covenant) itself and all the people,
9:20 Saying these words: This is the blood that seals and ratifies the agreement (the testament, the covenant) which God commanded [me to deliver to] you.
GOD's Promises to CHRIST:
Galatians 3:15-19 (Amplified Bible)
3:15 To speak in terms of human relations, brethren, [if] even a man makes a last will and testament (a merely human covenant), no one sets it aside or makes it void or adds to it when once it has been drawn up and signed (ratified, confirmed).
3:16 Now the promises (covenants, agreements) were decreed and made to Abraham and his Seed (his Offspring, his Heir). He [God] does not say, And to seeds (descendants, heirs), as if referring to many persons, but, And to your Seed (your Descendant, your Heir), obviously referring to one individual, Who is [none other than] Christ (the Messiah).
3:17 This is my argument: The Law, which began 430 years after the covenant [concerning the coming Messiah], does not and cannot annul the covenant previously established (ratified) by God, so as to abolish the promise and make it void.
3:18 For if the inheritance [of the promise depends on observing] the Law [as these false teachers would like you to believe], it no longer [depends] on the promise; however, God gave it to Abraham [as a free gift solely] by virtue of His promise.
3:19 What then was the purpose of the Law? It was added [later on, after the promise, to disclose and expose to men their guilt] because of transgressions and [to make men more conscious of the sinfulness] of sin; and it was intended to be in effect until the Seed (the Descendant, the Heir) should come, to and concerning Whom the promise had been made. And it [the Law] was arranged and ordained and appointed through the instrumentality of angels [and was given] by the hand (in the person) of a go-between [Moses, an intermediary person between God and man].
Never was seen that angels are giving the Laws to Moses, but as we can see Apostle Paul, the Apostle of grace, knew that angels gave it to Moses, for He saw it in his visions as if Paul was there.
The New covenant is not a recycled covenant of the first covenant, but a totally new covenant with us.
B. People did not abide in the agreement, GOD withdrew favor and disregarded them
"for they did not abide in My agreement with them, and so I withdrew My favor and disregarded them, says the Lord"
Judges 10:13-14 (Amplified Bible)
10:13 Yet you have forsaken Me and served other gods; therefore I will deliver you no more.
10:14 Go, cry to the gods you have chosen; let them deliver you in your time of distress.
The old covenant were based in the performance of the people, in their obedience or rebellions, if they obey, blessing and forgiveness follows, but if they rebel, curses follows.
Lamentations 4:16 (Amplified Bible)
4:16 The anger of the Lord has scattered [and divided them among the nations]; He will no longer look after them. They did not respect the persons of the priests; they did not favor the elders.
Amos 5:22-23 (Amplified Bible)
5:22 Though you offer Me your burnt offerings and your cereal offerings, I will not accept them, neither will I look upon the peace or thank offerings of your fatted beasts.
5:23 Take away from Me the noise of your songs, for I will not listen to the melody of your harps.
Malachi 2:13 (Amplified Bible)
2:13 And this you do with double guilt; you cover the altar of the Lord with tears [shed by your unoffending wives, divorced by you that you might take heathen wives], and with [your own] weeping and crying out because the Lord does not regard your offering any more or accept it with favor at your hand.
GOD finally fed up, seeing fault with the old covenant, rejected the animal sacrifices, ending the animal sacrifices in the old covenant, GOD was so excited to introduce a new covenant to them, where it's based on the finished work of the LORD JESUS CHRIST and not on men's performance of obedience and rebellion, and a sacrifice that can't be rejected because it's a Perfect Sacrifice in the Person of the LORD JESUS CHRIST.
IX. CONCLUSION:
Thank You LORD JESUS for Your finished work on the Cross, now it's all based on Your Work and Obedience, and I reap all the blessings and forgiveness. No longer me, but it's You who lives in Me lives out Your Life in me. Thank You LORD JESUS You became a slave so that I can become a royal priesthood.
Psalms 40:6-8 (New International Version)
40:6 Sacrifice and offering you did not desire, but my ears you have pierced burnt offerings and sin offerings you did not require.
40:7 Then I said, "Here I am, I have come-- it is written about me in the scroll.
40:8 I desire to do your will, O my God; your law is within my heart."
Psalms 40:6-8 (New Century Version)
40:6 You do not want sacrifices and offerings. But you have made a hole in my ear to show that my body and life are yours. You do not ask for burnt offerings and sacrifices to take away sins.
40:7 Then I said, “Look, I have come. It is written about me in the book.
40:8 My God, I want to do what you want. Your teachings are in my heart.“
Exodus 21:6 (New Century Version)
21:6 then the slave’s master must take him to God. The master is to take him to a door or doorframe and punch a hole through the slave’s ear using a sharp tool. Then the slave will serve that master all his life.
