He has made us competent as ministers of a new covenant—not of the letter but of the
Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.
2 Corinthians 3:6 NIV
The new covenant is also called the covenant of the Holy Spirit. We respect and
appreciate the old covenant, but we are fully aware that Jesus completed that
covenant. It is now obsolete. It is now no longer in effect. You cannot have two
covenants or a mixture of two covenants functioning in the life of the church and your
life as a believer running at the same time. This will produce schizophrenic Christianity.
In actual fact the Bible clearly warns us that the old covenant will now kill us. This is
serious! It kills churches. It kills families. It kills communities.
The new covenant is packed with amazing benefits and blessings for you as a new
covenant believer. The new covenant, empowered by the Holy Spirit brings life
abundantly!
The Holy Spirit has made us competent ministers of the new covenant. The Holy Spirit
teaches us that the new covenant is secured by the blood of Jesus Christ – our Messiah,
as an eternal covenant.
Under the new covenant God has dealt with all of sin once and for all. All our sin, past
present and future - He has forgiven it and does not hold it against us. He does not
bring sin up and neither should we. Refuse to live sin conscious. Live grace conscious!
Under the new covenant we have been made new creations. You are brand new. Your
old is gone. Your new has come. You have a brand new life. New paradigms. New
transformed mind. New spirit. New nature. New habits. New personality. New hopes.
New dreams. New goals. New mission. New vision. New destiny.
