Our Faithful God

The originator of the Passover shows himself as the True Passover. He has the authority to modify the Passover to more fully represent its reality…himself. Through his life and substitutionary death, Jesus, the True Passover, provides an Exodus for us, the True Exodus, which sets us free from the slavery of sin and death and makes us children of God who can enter a truly free life.

Jesus gives us the benefits of the New Covenant through the cleansing of his blood and the regeneration of his Spirit. We will also see that he is alone is trustworthy to tell us how to receive these benefits.

Jesus Christ came to fulfill the Covenant of Grace through the New Covenant in order to grant God’s people the promised blessings in all the previous covenants. These promised blessings find their ultimate fulfillment in God’s people having God as their God and being his people.

Jesus Christ is the one who fulfills the Davidic Covenant. He is the King who is present with his people.

God is Our Faithful God who gives a further revelation of the Covenant of Grace to reveal and codify his will for his people to show them how they are to live as his people and to show them how Christ is the only way to fulfill God’s perfect requirements, as well as to show those who will eventually come to Christ their need of him and for all the rest to keep the world from being as bad as it could be.

Children are not only part of the church, but just as in the commonwealth of Israel, children are members of God’s covenant. Since they are included within the covenant, they should receive the covenant sign of membership, which in the New Testament is baptism.

God is Our Faithful God who shows this by making promises, making a covenant, and giving signs to testify this to his people. Because of this we can have confidence in all God’s promises, just like Abraham did.

Our faithful God keeps his promises by entering a covenant of life with Noah, all his offspring (all humanity), and every living creature. This ensures that God will preserve the world so that he will bring about his ultimate plan of making a people for himself through the promised seed, Jesus, fulfilling the Covenant of Grace, so, we don’t have live in fear.

Though Adam broke the covenant of works and plunged humanity into a life of sin and misery (which is separation from God), our faithful God made a covenant of grace to redeem us through Christ to a life of joy and fellowship with him.
