Christ Jesus will keep you strong to the end. . . Therefore, my dear brothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain (1 Cor 1:8; 15:58).

The former covenant is a shadow, a type, a mystery, the new covenant is the revelation, the truth, the reality. It is God's gift of eternal life / fellowship with man, revealed.

God has a glorious work and message to give the world in us, His children of the new covenant (2 Cor 3).

Finding freedom, fruitfulness, and peace in Christ.

Man was made in the image of God, but God has re-created us in Christ into a new relationship, a covenant relationship :)

1 Thess 2:7-8

In Christ, God has given us a love beyond our understanding and forgiveness that secures our journey.

God is the good Father, and in His house we find blessing, protection, purpose, and belonging.

What God has given us, in Christ Jesus, must remain in our minds and hearts. We must choose to continue to put our trust in Him and His work for us and in us!

The flesh would hold us captive to its desires, and sin would hold us as slaves by the power of law. Christ has redeemed us and set us free, we must continue trusting in Him.
