There’s no distinction. All have sinned and fall short of God’s glory, but all are treated as righteous freely by his graceContinue reading “all”

So I ask you, has God rejected his people? Absolutely not! I’m an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, from the tribe of Benjamin. God hasn’t rejected his people, whom he knew in advance. Or don’t you know what the scripture says in the case of Elijah, when he pleads with God against Israel? Lord, they have killed yourContinue reading “grace”

a new covenant

Now the main point of what we are saying is this: We have this kind of high priest. He sat down at the right side of the throne of the majesty in the heavens. He’s serving as a priest in the holy place, which is the true meeting tent that God, not any human being, setContinue reading “a new covenant”

His death occurred to set them free from the offenses committed under the first covenant. 16 When there is a will, you needContinue reading “Blood”

A Renewed Covenant

Then the king directed that all the elders of Judah and Jerusalem should be gathered to him. 2The king went up to the house of the Lord, and with him went all the people of Judah, all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the priests, the prophets, and all the people, both small and great; he read in theirContinue reading “A Renewed Covenant”
