Hebrews – A Call to Commitment:
                    “ Better Covenant/Better Promises”
                                           Hebrews  8:6-13

•  Our main Idea is found in V-6
•  The old covenant was not intended to last; it was flawed in the fact that the law was intended to serve as our babysitter, until the coming of Christ. Gal 3:23-24
• Doubts come when we have no root: Mt.13:20-21
• The prophetic oracle in which God promised to establish a new covenant with his people Jer. 31:31-34 is quoted in full in verses 8-12; this is the longest quotation from the OT to be found in the NT.

       The Four Promises:

1.         Incomparable Unity 

•  Jesus prayed for Unity:  John 17:20-21
• Paul claimed it: Gal 3:26-28
• He turned away because they turned: Psalm 14:3

 

2.         Inner Change of Heart: Ezekiel 11:19

•  Biblical worldview: we see it God’s way.

 

3.          Intimate Fellowship with God

 

     

4.         Instant Forgiveness of Sins

•  Psalm 103:12 
• Micah 7:19
• 1 John 1:9
• The Temple would shortly be destroyed by the Romans in AD 70
• Jesus predicted the Temples destruction: Luke 21:5-6
