God for a good conscience, through the resurrection of Jesus

Christ,

Abrahamic Covenant

Genesis 12:1Now the LORD said to Abram, “Go from your country and

your kindred and your father’s house to the land that I will show

you. 2 And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you

and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing. 3 I will bless those who bless you, and him who dishonors you I will curse, and in you all the families of the earth

shall be blessed.”

Abrahamic Covenant

Genesis 17:4 “Behold, my covenant is with you, and you shall be the

father of a multitude of nations. 5 No longer shall your name be

called Abram, but your name shall be Abraham, for I have made you

the father of a multitude of nations. 6 I will make you

exceedingly fruitful, and I will make you into nations, and kings

shall come from you.

Abrahamic Covenant

possession, and I will be their God.”

Abrahamic Covenant

“Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the

Lamb!”

Abrahamic Covenant

Mosaic Covenant (a.k.a Law Covenant)


Exodus 3:7bI know their sufferings, 8 and I have come down to deliver

them out of the hand of the Egyptians and to bring them up out of that land to a good and broad land, a land flowing with milk and honey, …10 Come, I will

send you to Pharaoh that you may bring my people, the children of

Israel, out of Egypt.”


Exodus 19:5 Now therefore, if you will

indeed obey my voice and keep my covenant, you shall be my

treasured possession among all peoples, for all the earth is mine; 6 and you shall be to me a kingdom

of priests and a holy nation.


Fulfilled by Jesus in New Covenant



Luke 22:20 “This cup that is poured out for you is the new covenant in my

blood.



Hebrews 9:12 he entered once for all

into the holy places, not by means of the blood of goats and calves but by means of his own blood,

thus securing an eternal redemption



Hebrews 9:15 Therefore he is the mediator of a new covenant, so that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance, since a death has

occurred that redeems them from the transgressions committed

under the first covenant.



1 Peter 2:9 But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a

people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the

excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous

light.



John 1:14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace

and truth.



Deuteronomy 18:18 I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among

their brothers. And I will put my words in his mouth, and he shall speak to them all that I command

him.



Galatians 3:10 For all who rely on works of the law are under a curse; for it

is written, “Cursed be everyone who does not abide by all things written in the Book of the Law,

and do them.” 11 Now it is evident that no one is justified before God

by the law, for “The righteous shall live by faith.” …



24 So then, the law was our

guardian until Christ came, in order that we might be justified by

faith. 25 But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a

guardian, 26 for in Christ Jesus you are all sons of God, through faith.

Davidic Covenant

Davidic Covenant

2 Samuel 7:8 ‘Thus says the LORD of hosts, I took you from the pasture, from following the sheep, that you should be prince over my people

Israel. 9 …And I will make for you a great name, like the name of the great ones of the earth. 10 And I

will appoint a place for my people Israel and will plant them, so that they may dwell in their own place

and be disturbed no more. …

Davidic Covenant

12 When your days are fulfilled and you lie down with your fathers, I will raise up your offspring after you, who shall come from your body, and I will establish his

kingdom. … 16 And your house and your kingdom shall be made sure forever before me. Your throne shall be established forever.’ ”

Davidic Covenant

2 Samuel 7:18 Then King David went in and sat before the LORD and said, “Who am I, O Lord GOD, and what

is my house, that you have brought me thus far?

Davidic CovenantFulfilled by Jesus


John 18:36 Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world. If my

kingdom were of this world, my servants would have been fighting, that I might not be delivered over to the Jews. But my kingdom is not

from the world.” 37 Then Pilate said to him, “So you are a king?” Jesus answered, “You say that I

am a king. For this purpose I was born and for this purpose I have

come into the world


2 Corinthians 3:4 Such is the confidence that we have through Christ

toward God. 5 Not that we are sufficient in ourselves to claim

anything as coming from us, but our sufficiency is from God, 6 who

has made us competent to be ministers of a new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit. For

the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.
