What God Cannot Do

WHAT GOD CANNOT DO

INTRODUCTION: GOD IS A COVENANT GOD. HE WILL KEEP HIS COVENANT PROMISES.

SPIRITUAL INSIGHT:

JEREMIAH 31:31 (NASB) BEHOLD, DAYS ARE COMING, DECLARES THE LORD, WHEN I WILL MAKE A NEW COVENANT WITH THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL AND WITH THE HOUSE OF JUDAH.

JEREMIAH CONTRASTS A NEW COVENANT AGAIN THE OLD COVENANT. THIS REALITY POINTS TO HOW GOD WOULD FUTURISTICALLY DEAL WITH ISRAEL AND THE HOUSE OF JUDAH. GOD GAVE MOSES THE OLD COVENANT ON MOUNT SINAI (EXODUS 20). THE OLD COVENANT WAS FOR JEWS ONLY.

READ HEBREWS 8:8-13.

THE OLD COVENANT (MOSAIC COVENANT) WAS A COVENANT OF LAW AND WORKS. THE NEW COVENANT IS A COVENANT OF GRACE. GOD, THROUGH HIS SON, JESUS CHRIST, INSTIGATED THE NEW COVENANT, WHICH INCLUDES JEWS AND GENTILES.

APPLICATION: YOUR COVENANT GOD CANNOT BREAK COVENANT!
