I Corinthians 11; 2 Cor. 5; Romans 5; I Cor. 6

The new covenant is given by God, my father. It’s terms are fulfilled by Jesus’ perfect life in the flesh, and the covenant is guaranteed by the blood (the sacrifice of Jesus’ life) as propitiation of the sins of mankind.

That propitiation is applied to my sins through faith in Jesus as the Messiah, and his perfect life is imputed to my life as righteousness. By God’s grace, I become the righteousness of God in Christ.

By Christ’s body and blood I’m reconciled to God, my father. I become a new creature in Christ. The old things are passed away and behold all that is important (eternal) in me becomes new.

My past is forgiven and I begin to live a life in the presence and by the power of the holy Spirit. I begin to become free of this world. Free of the regrets and guilt of sin. No longer a slave to sin, but set free to be a temple of God’s spirit and a son of almighty God.
