Knowledge and Understanding

Happy is the man who finds wisdom; and the man who gains understanding. Get wisdom; and get understanding. In reading and studying the Word; we get to know and understand the Father's GRACE. Our Lord desires for us to know Him and He wants to know us.

Thus says the Lord:
That I am the Lord, exercising loving kindness, judgment, and righteousness in the earth.
For in these I delight,” says the Lord.

A superior covenant (Hebrews 8&9)

Hi there.

To those of you joining us today in our journey through this book, we are doing this to remind ourselves why we should never loose faith but always be confident in our God. How confident are you in your faith? is the question that started this quest.

Hebrews 8

Our Lord sits at the right hand of the Father,
Our Lord is of a superior ministry.
Our Lord is the mediator of the superior covenant.

In this superior covenant our Father’s laws and ways are in our minds, they are written in our hearts.
Fellow Christ-Followers we need to know and live the Word.
In this superior covenant each and every person takes ownership and is responsible to get to know the Father personally.
In this superior covenant the Father remembers no ones sins.
How then can we say I am not confident because I did this and that?

Hebrews 9

We are reminded in detail of the tabernacle and how the priests had to perform their ministry.
Our Lord the Messiah has instituted a perfect tabernacle, not man made, and by His pure blood we are cleansed from earning salvation.
In our Lord we have been freed to serve the living God.

Our Lord is the mediator of the new covenant.
Our Lord shedding His blood guarantees us forgiveness of our sins.

And just as it is appointed for people to die once — and after this, judgment — so also the Messiah, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for Him.
