Everett Ferguson is correct when he writes, "Biblical religion is covenant religion." That said, we need to know what a covenant is and how it works.

Jesus is not just a way to get rid of our sins, get religion, make good friends, find comfort in times of trouble and grief, or guarantee our passage through the pearly gates into a life of ultimate luxury and ease. Belief in Jesus, rightly understood, will change how we live.

Peter's sermon to Cornelius gives us an example of what to remember and tell about the good news of Jesus.

If the only reasonable explanation for Jesus' deeds and teachings is that he was God among us, then God must exist. What does New Testament Christianity claim about this and how can we go about confirming the evidence for the story and telling others?
