THE GLORY OF GOD IN US; REDEMPTION LIFE
Jeremiah 31:33,34
Today we celebrate God’s redemptive work. I'm convinced that God deals with mankind through covenant agreements. I'm convinced that we should let the old covenant of the law finish its work, which is to help us accept the truth that ALL our efforts to be worthwhile children of God are futile and know that what He asks of us under the 1st covenant agreement, the 2nd covenant provides, and by His HS God will work everything in you. He will release us from every bo***ge to sin and to the law, which the Word called the ministry of death. We know from Scripture that God’s great aim is to join everything in heaven and earth together in His son Christ Jesus, to mature or complete everything in Him, and for us all to be one. But there was trouble under that Old Covenant. People could not keep their hearts right with God. In Jeremiah 31:33, God told the prophet,” With the covenant I will make after those days, I will put my law in their inward parts and write it in their minds. I will be their God, and they will be my people... I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.” Matthew Henry’s commentary, written in 1850, explained that whatever God requires of us, His grace supplies.
Amazingly, now we want to do what God wants. We delight in Him during our prayers, and He gives us His desires. We are not anxious that we are such failures that we will never get it right; He will make a way. That student debt was a barrier, but He broke it for you. That relationship was not at all good for you, but now it seems you are free. In the new covenant, there is a heart delighting in God's laws, and God gets his way. He realizes His purpose and gives His children one mind and one spirit with Him. This is glorious! It is the same glory that Jesus shares with the Father, and when you yield and obey, you become more and more like Him. It is a miracle that takes place in your soul every single day. You have such value to God that nothing can decrease you. Remember that the Lord is always on your side, so you can be on your own side, too. Furthermore, because of the resurrection, you have the right to recover the good people and things that were stolen from you. This is cause for celebration, isn't it? God’s new covenant, a blood covenant, is for the forgiveness of sins and constrains you by the law of love. So, now you must forgive others their mistakes, as God has forgiven all of yours. I believe we all agree, don’t we? Amen?
