“Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah. 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. (Jeremiah 31:31, 33)

During the former days of the Old Testament, God gave Moses written laws and commandments to teach His people.

Strict adherence to the laws was necessary. If one was broken all was considered broken.

The Laws were burdensome and they did not remove the burden of sin but were, in fact, a constant reminder of sin.

And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. (Matthew 28:5-6)

Christ’s death and resurrection atoned completely for sins and it also removed the guilt. The former covenant was over. As a result of Christ’s redemptive work, the sacrifice of animals was no longer needed.

Christ fulfilled the commandment of God therefore when you receive Him in your heart you are essentially receiving the fulfillment of God’s commandment into your life.

Hence, you have acknowledged God to be Lord of your life. This is the new covenant which the Lord has established with us.

Additional reading: Hebrews 9 &10

I pray that as you read this post you will receive the resurrection power of Jesus Christ to save, heal and deliver you. Amen!

Beverley has been serving the Lord since she was a child. At an early age, she recognized that God had a special plan for her life, but it was not until in her adulthood that she surrendered her total life to God and accepted the mandate that God placed on her life. The Lord called her into His Kingdom to be an encourager, intercessor, teacher, scribe, priest, and to proclaim the Word of God. Since then, Beverly has established a blog to teach us to become the oil and wine. The oil and wine are purified and mature products, which is the advanced level that the Lord expected of us. In 2017, Beverley published her first book, Harm Not The Oil And Wine. In it, she described her trials and how God helped her to overcome them, and to live more victoriously. The book also exposed the enemy of our souls with detailed information about his past defeats and future extinction. Wright spents most of her time studying the Bible to know the truth of God’s Word. She believes that only God’s truth can expose the deception of the enemy, and uproot and tear down spiritual strongholds. You can learn more about Beverley’s life and testimony on her website becomingtheoilandwine.com. You can also find her on Facebook and Google+ under the name of her blog, and on Twitter as @Theoilandwine. View all posts by Beverley
