To Serve The Living God

Heb.7,8&9

The word of the new covenant from God, my heavenly father, appoints Jesus, the Christ, as high priest forever. Jesus’ ministry is more excellent because the covenant he mediates is better since it is enacted on better promises.  In speaking of a new covenant, father, you make the old one obsolete. It is obsolete and growing old and vanishing away. In the old covenant sacrifices could not perfect the conscience of the worshiper, but dealt only with regulations for the body imposed until the time of the reformation.

But when Christ appeared as a high priest of the good things that have come, he entered once for all into the holy places not by the blood of goats and calves but by means of his own blood, thus securing an eternal redemption.  Thank you, Father, that the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to You, purifies my conscience from dead works to serve you, the living God. Hallelujah!
