Hebrews 8:12 contains promise number four of the New Covenant. "I will forgive their wickedness and I will never again remember their sins." For the longest time those sins stood between us and God. And now He took them away. We read that Jesus took away sin. We can stand before God know our sins have been forgiven.

In Hebrews 8:11 we read, "No longer will they teach their neighbor, or say to one another, 'Know the Lord,' because they will all know me, from the least of them to the greatest." What does this mean to you and how does it compare to how people under the old covenant related to God?

• I've read in Revelation how the cities of the nations will fall. How do I get out of a place that is so evil?
• What do you think about Calvanism?
• This topic of "in and out of fellowship" comes up but I don't agree with that. Am I correct that once we're save God's Spirit won't leave us?

Jesus Christ is made real to us through the new covenant. This week we're talking about those promises. Today is promise number 3, "No longer will they teach their neighbor, or say to one another, 'Know the Lord,' because they will all know me, from the least of them to the greatest." Hebrews 8:11 This is all about relationship.

• Per Luke 11:13, can you receive the Holy Spirit just by asking the Father?

All of us have this need to belong. We want to be part of a group of people. In this New Covenant we have a promise that guarantees our eternal membership. Because of our faith in Jesus Christ we belong. One of the things that the Spirit does is to put this testimony on our heats.

• I've been unequally yoked for twenty years and it has brought trouble and confusion. Ephesians 3:16-19
• How do we bear each other's burden as in Galatians 6:2 "Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ."?

Promise number two of the New covenant is this: "I will be their God and they will be My people." This promise of the four is so radically different from the Old Covenant. The Old said "IF". "If you obey and keep My covenant..." Very soon after they ratified the covenant they broke it. Under the New we truly belong to God and it lays a foundation of assurance.

• In 1 Corinthians 7:14 it states that the unbelieving spouse is sanctified through his wife. I'm saved and my husband isn't. So what does this mean for me?
• Please explain Hebrews 10:26-29. Does this mean someone can forfeit their salvation?

Here's what God promised you in the New Covenant which has been fulfilled in Christ. God has put His laws on your minds and written them on your hearts. But what are those laws? Are they the 10 Commandments or something new? In 1 John 3:23 John writes, "And this is his command: to believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and to love one another as he commanded us."

• Are the saved judged?
• I've just been saved in the last two years. When we die, we go to one of two places, but I've read we'll be raised on the last day. When will we be raised from the dead?
• Can you explain Romans 3:30? "...since there is only one God, who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through that same faith"
• Why was I never taught that my infant baptism didn't save me?

Here's promise number one of the New Covenant: Hebrews 8:10 "I will put My laws in their minds and write them in their hearts." 2 Corinthians 3:3 "a letter from Christ... written by the Spirit... on human hearts." 1 John 3:23 "And this is his command: to believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and to love one another as he commanded us."

• One of the commandments is that you love others as you love yourself.
• When I was saved, Jesus forgiven me of my sins. But since then I have sinned. And I ask forgiveness for that sin. But you state that you don't have to ask God for forgiveness. Is this true?
• Can you explain Psalm 120... the latter half?

This week we're going to take a look at the New Covenant. In Hebrews 8:6 we read, "But in fact the ministry Jesus has received is as superior to theirs as the covenant of which he is mediator is superior to the old one, since the new covenant is established on better promises."

• Do we confess Christ to be saved or as a result of our salvation?
• God doing a work in us to take us from death to life... His presence to be what God called us to be and to do what God called us to do. Ephesians 2:4-5 "...He made us alive together with Christ..."

One of the things that God did was to make us competent as ministers of this New Covenant. "Will not the ministry of the spirit be even more glorious?... Since we have such a hope we are very bold." Now we have what Paul calls the surpassing glory which means the very Spirit of God has taken up residence in us. This new covenant isn't better because it trashed the old. It's better because it's internal. And now we have the glory of the New Covenant living within us.
