YOU ARE UNDER A BETTER COVENANT ESTABLISHED ON BETTER PROMISES

By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi 

    Hebrews 8:6 declares, “But as it is, Christ has acquired a priestly ministry which is more excellent than the old Levitical priesthood, for He is the mediator of a better covenant, uniting God and man, which has been enacted and rests on better promises.” This verse establishes the supremacy of the New Covenant, mediated by Jesus Christ, over the Old Covenant given at Mount Sinai.

The Old Covenant, based on the Law, had a fundamental flaw—it could not make one perfect. Hebrews 8:7 states, “For if that first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no occasion for a second one.” The law could reveal sin (Romans 3:20) but lacked the power to remove it. It kept people in bondage to rituals and sacrifices that could never cleanse the conscience (Hebrews 10:1-4).

Paul, in Galatians 4:24, contrasts the two covenants, explaining that the covenant from Mount Sinai leads to slavery, while the New Covenant brings freedom in Christ. Sadly, many religious Christians still rely on legalistic practices instead of the grace found in Jesus.

Jesus Christ is the mediator of the New Covenant (Hebrews 12:24), which is based on His vicarious atonement. Under this covenant, God promises, “And this is My covenant with them, when I take away their sins” (Romans 11:27). Through Jesus, we receive forgiveness (Ephesians 1:7), righteousness apart from the law (Romans 3:21-22), and the indwelling Holy Spirit (2 Corinthians 3:6).

We are now called to live by faith in Christ, not by the works of the Law (Galatians 2:16). The New Covenant is indeed better, for it brings true salvation and eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

 In our daily prayers we should seek a healthy appetite for God's word and boldness to preach the gospel. 

PRAYER: Heavenly Father forgive me of my sins against you I believe Jesus Christ died and was raised again for my salvation I receive him as lord and saviour and receive the Holy Spirit and power to heal the sick .
