Today we're looking at new covenant, first through the lens of the major prophets, and then into the New Testament.
What sets the new covenant apart from the old is Christ as the sacrifice, becoming the perfect mediator between us and God, and as such, ushering in the Spirit of God to help empower a covenant people to live a transformed life, which begins in the heart.
The overarching theme througout this episode, is our own responsbility to be an active participant in covenant, which requires examining our own hearts and getting serious about rooting out anything that is in direct opposition to the character of God.
