Abraham's descendants were covenant related children of God, as a result of His promise to Abraham. Even under the Law of Moses all that Israel had with God were a result of His promise to Abraham. We are born of God, today, through Christ Jesus, who is God's covenant with us (Rom 9:1-18).

Our victory is in the One who is our covenant with God, Christ Jesus our Lord. Uniting us with Him and His death we have a new life to live in Christ. God has done for us in our union with Him what we cannot do on our own (Rom 6:3-5; Gal 2:20-21).

What God has given us in Christ Jesus defeats the worst we can face in this world. Rom 8:31-39

God's former covenant with Israel was the 10 Commandments/the Law of Moses it was based on the Leviticsal priesthood (Heb 7:11). Jesus is now our covenant. His blood and His priesthood are the basis of our covenant with God (Isa 42:6; 49:8; Luke 22:20; 2 Cor 3:6; Jer 31:31; Heb 8:8).

The gospel which saved us, continues to save, direct, and equip us to face all that we face in this world (Rom 1:16-17; 8:18-29). Let's resolve to continue learning its message and all the implications of its power for our lives.

The power of the gospel which saves us continually works to transform us and guide our lives in God's eternal purpose.

God has poured His love and so His redemptive purpose of freedom into us through His saving gospel. Life for the faithful Christian is, now lived in a newness like no other.

The gospel saves us by revealing that we are NOT LEFT ALONE to battle sin!

God did not record through Moses the account of creation just to answer the questions of curious minds. He gave it to His covenant related children when He was forming them into a people for His own possession and purpose, that they might know the power of the One who called them, that they might know His power and purpose of giving life through His spoken words. Though our covenant is in the blood of His Son, we still should hear this call, if we wish to go forward in God's purpose.

The gospel does not leave us with the same old mindset we had in the flesh. We now walk/live in newness of life (Rom 6:4, 11-13, 14-23; 8:4, 5-12).
