Sermon Note

Hebrews 8:7-13 NASB
7 For if that first covenant had been free of fault, no circumstances would have been sought for a second.
8 For in finding fault with the people, He says,
“Behold, days are coming, says the Lord,
When I will bring about a new covenant
With the house of Israel and the house of Judah,
9 Not like the covenant which I made with their fathers
On the day I took them by the hand
To bring them out of the land of Egypt;
For they did not continue in My covenant,
And I did not care about them, says the Lord.
10 For this is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel
After those days, declares the Lord:
I will put My laws into their minds,
And write them on their hearts.
And I will be their God,
And they shall be My people.
11 And they will not teach, each one his fellow citizen,
And each one his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’
For they will all know Me,
From the least to the greatest of them.
12 For I will be merciful toward their wrongdoings,
And their sins I will no longer remember.”
13 When He said, “A new covenant,” He has made the first obsolete. But whatever is becoming obsolete and growing old is about to disappear.
God is love. He wants His people able to choose. They do it because of love
God wants a people because they loved Him so much that He wants to give them
The moment sin came in, man has conscience. There was no external law to tell them what is right or wrong. Our conscience is unreliable unless it is under grace.
The conscience and knowing what is right and wrong is very subjective. The moment man ate of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, God had to give the law.
The flesh principle always have this. The flesh principle is sin principle. Depending on yourself to do right.
That is the greatest problem for all of us
Exodus 19:8-9 NASB
8 Then all the people answered together and said, “All that the Lord has spoken we will do!” And Moses brought back the words of the people to the Lord.
9 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Behold, I will come to you in a thick cloud, so that the people may hear when I speak with you and may also trust in you forever.” Then Moses told the words of the people to the Lord.
God created you. He will be your Provider.
He sent His Son in the likeness of sinful flesh.
Hebrews 8:10 NKJV
10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put My laws in their mind and write them on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people.
Hebrews 8:11-12 NKJV
11 None of them shall teach his neighbor, and none his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them.
12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more.”
Even when you fail, your sin and your lawless deeds, I will remember no more.
No punishment from God but there is consequences of your sins.

Hebrews 8:11-12 NKJV
11 None of them shall teach his neighbor, and none his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them.
12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more.”
Even the greatest have great needs.
Why do you want to sin when you can have a God who can do everything you need?
You have a God who will be everything you need.
Why rush out to fight in the mud when you are in heavenly place?
As He is, so are we in this world
