New Life

“The days are coming,” declares the LORD, 

“when I will make a new covenant with the people of Israel 

and with the people of Judah. 

It will not be like the covenant

I made with their ancestors 

when I took them by the hand to lead them out of Egypt, 

because they broke my covenant, 

though I was a husband to them,” 

declares the LORD. “This is the covenant 

I will make with the people of Israel 

after that time,” declares the LORD. 

“I will put my law in their minds 

and write it on their hearts. I will be their God, 

and they will be my people. 

No longer will they teach their neighbor, 

or say to one another, 

‘Know the LORD,’ because they will all know me, 

from the least of them to the greatest,” declares the LORD. 

“For I will forgive their wickedness 

and will remember their sins no more.”

Jeremiah 31:31-34

To live in the new covenant 

is for the old to be forgotten.

The old that is based on works... 

for the new that is based on heart.

To remember who HE is. 

And the fullness of life lived with Him.

To do away with who I was

before I knew Him.

And be thankful for His

rescuing, redeeming, restoring

nature

because of the cross.

He did what He said He would do.

because He keeps His Promises.

His love is for US. 

And it never gives up.

What a reason to celebrate.
