Covenant Between God And Man (four)
I will put my law in their inward parts
(…continues from part 3…)
4) Jeremiah 31:31-34 31) “Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah: 32) Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the LORD: 33) But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people. 34) And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.” Who are in the house of Israel and Judah, are they not human beings? Who are their fathers? They are humans who are in covenant with God. The covenant must be brought to the historicity of Adamic acquiesce. As it was an event in the eternal past of pre-creationism, so must it receive a historical compact between the Author of grace and the Adamic recipient of God’s soteriological beneficence – fulfillment of Scriptural pattern.
This is my body which is given for you
Luke 22:19-20 19) “And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me. 20) Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.” ‘Testament’ is the Greek diathēkē (dee-ath-ay’-kay): ‘properly a disposition, that is, (specifically) a contract (especially a devisory will); a compact; an arrangement.’ God had decided to take full responsibility for the creation of Adamic free moral agency. There is a good reason in the heart of the Divinity for the creation of Adam. The historically first sinner, called Lucifer, before God, the eternal Judge, must be brought to judgment. The cup of Luciferian shenaniganry needs to be allowed to become full to its devilish overflow; proving fairness of Divine judgment.
God looked into the world and found people whose hearts desire to worship the true God. His Omniscience saw that their sincerity was worthy of trust. The Members of the Godhead could not be wrong, so, man was privileged to enter into covenant of salvation with the gracious I AM THAT I AM. It was of utmost concernment that the I AM Whose existence, before the matrix conceived Abraham, had been in the eternality of the past, must sit in the presence of the Adamic recipient of the covenant for the codification of Luke 22:19-20.
Galatians 3:16-20 16) “Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ. 17) And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect. 18) For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise: but God gave it to Abraham by promise. 19) Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator. 20) Now a mediator is not a mediator of one, but God is one.” The ‘covenant’, diathēkē, from Pauline teaching in the seventeenth verse which has, “the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ” could be what triggers Dr. Oyakhilome’s and Dr. Damina’s insistence that the covenant is between God the Father and the Son with no man’s involvement.
Can I disagree with the fact that the decision to open the doors of salvation to mankind took place long before the creation of Adam? I, certainly, cannot. Does it not, however, read in the succeeding verse that, “but God gave it to Abraham by promise”? Does Bible historicity agree with an event of the covenant between God and Abraham, a man? Hebrews 6:13 “For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he sware by himself,” is a Mosaic quotation. It was one of Abrahamic face to face encounter with God. Genesis 22:15-18 15) “And the angel of the LORD called unto Abraham out of heaven the second time, 16) And said, By myself have I sworn, saith the LORD, for because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only son: 17) That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies; 18) And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice.” This is a historical event. It took place on Mount Moriah. Both father Abraham and son, Isaac, heard the oath of the LORD God to Abraham who believed, which has everything to do with believers to come, concerning the Incarnation of God in Christ.
Get born again by saying this simple prayer.
“Dear heavenly Father, I come to You now in the name of Jesus Christ. I believe in my heart that Jesus is the Son of God. I believe that Jesus died on the cross for my sin. I believe that You raised Him from the dead. I confess with my mouth that Jesus is Lord and I receive Him now as my Lord and my Saviour. I give God all the glory. Amen!”
