He has been made the Mediator of a better covenant established on better promises. Hebrews 8:6 VOICE
When God initiated the New Covenant, it was a better covenant established on new and better promises.
The writer of the book of Hebrews says:
“If the first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no need for a second covenant to replace it…… When God speaks of a “new” covenant, it means he has made the first one obsolete. It is now out of date and will soon disappear”
These new promises are better, because they were not based on the obedience or disobedience of God’s people, but on the obedience of Christ. They were established through God’s grace rather than through our observance of the Law. They are better because they are promises not just for the nation of Israel, but for every person from every nation, who would believe in and accept Christ as their Savior.
They are better promises because the foundation of every promise is Christ.
Paul writes:
For all of God’s promises have been fulfilled in Christ with a resounding “Yes!” And through Christ, our “Amen” (which means “Yes”) ascends to God for his glory. 2 Corinthians 1:20 NLT
All of these promises are found and appropriated in Christ.
When our “Amen” is added to God’s “Yes,” these new and better promises become ours! Not because we have earned them, or because we deserve them but because we believe that what Christ did, He did for us personally, and we receive His promises by faith.
Let’s never forget that we have a better covenant with better promises, and may our “Amen” be added to God’s resounding “Yes,” so that we can receive all the new and better promises that are found in Christ.
