THE NEW COVENANT RATIFIED NOTEBOOK
--God was Adam and Eve’s friend and visited them every
day in the cool of the day—until they broke
fellowship with Him in disobedience.
--God is a covenant-making God because He desires
closeness and intimacy with us.
--When fellowship (covenant) with God is broken, it is always
the fault of man, never God.
--Man cannot repair broken fellowship (covenant) with God.
Only God can bring restoration.
--God told Adam of His redemptive, restorative plan and
later revealed it to Abram.
--God confirmed the coming of the New Covenant to
Abram and cut covenant with him that would
reach into all future generations.
--God deals with us in our language and within our comprehension
to reveal His will, as in the New
Covenant symbolisms He showed to Abraham.
--God is still the “Hound of Heaven” seeking to save sinners
and bring them into His kingdom,
restoring fellowship in the New
Covenant.
--God is our redeemer, provider and protector in the
New Covenant.
--Partaking of the Sacrament (Lord’s Supper) is remembering
what Jesus did for us in the New Covenant.
--Be joyful and tell the Good News of the New Covenant
to everyone. “…The joy of the Lord is your
strength.” (Nehemiah 8:10).
