Hebrews – A Call to Commitment:
                           “The Better Covenant”
                                 Hebrews  7:20-28

•  The New Covenant: Jeremiah 31:31
• The Main Idea is found in Hebrews 7:22

          Four benefits of the Better Covenant:

1.      God’s Reliable Oath  (five times in 9 verses)

•  The Old Priesthood was based on a command: Exodus 28:1
• The oath is about God’s word. 
• God’s word is powerful and reliable.
•   He spoke the world into existence in Genesis 1:3
• God’s Word gets results: Isaiah 55:10-11
• God does not change His mind: Numbers 23:19

 

2.         The Guarantor (Jesus)

 

 

 

 

3.         The Permanent Priesthood

         The benefits of the permanent priest:

        1)   Complete Salvation

• His saving power is complete: Romans 10:9
• The old covenant brought doubt; the new brings assurance: 1 John 5:13

        2)    Ongoing Intercession—Isaiah 53:12

•  His prayer: John 17:20-21

      The Character of Christ is stated in five terms:

      1)      Holy (It is the opposite of polluted); he never deviates from in the least from God’s
                 ordinances and commandments.

      2)      Blameless or Devout: Loyal to covenant obligations.

     3)       Pure or innocent; He was not touched by evil.

     4)      Set Apart: Undefiled by the worlds standard.

     5)      Exalted: He shares the throne with God.

4.         The Perfect Sacrifice
