As we continue to look at Hebrews 13: 20
"Now may the God of peace who brought again from
the dead our Lord Jesus Christ, the great shepherd of
the sheep, by the blood of the eternal covenant..."
Yesterday Glen and I pondered this with the Greek
open. However, I will not bore you with those
details!
Hebrews 9:12 spells out the eternal blood covenant:
"...he (Jesus) entered once for all into the holy places,
not by means of the blood of goats and calves but
by means of his own blood, thus securing an eternal
redemption."
God secured an eternal redemption for us through an
eternal blood covenant--a covenant that was not only
instituted by God but is kept by God. This is awesome,
but have we lost the wonder of it?
OK, here is the hundred dollar question: Reader, have
you accepted Christ by faith but now strive to keep up
your end of the bargain by doing good works?
How is that working for you?
