Verse of the day: Now, the God of peace, who brought jesus out of the dead, our Lord, the great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the eternal covenant, perfected you in all good, to do his will, by doing in you what pleases him, for Jesus Christ, whom is glory for ever and ever. Amen! (Hebrews 13:20-21)
Christ shed the blood of the eternal covenant. Through this successful redemption, he obtained the blessing of the resurrection from the dead. Now he is our Lord and Pastor alive.
And because of that, God does two things
The “eternal covenant”, guaranteed by the blood of Christ, is the new covenant. And the promise of the new covenant is: “Will my laws also keep them in my heart?(Jeremiah 31:33-34). Therefore, the blood of this covenant not only guarantees that God will perfect us to do His will, but also ensures that God works in us to ensure that this improvement succeeds.
God’s will is not simply written on stone or paper as a means of grace; He’s operating on us. And the effect is that we feel, think, and act more pleasing to God.
We are always commanded to use the power He gives us: “Work out your salvation with fear and trembling. ” However, the most important thing is that the reason be revealed to us: “Why does the God who works in you want and do both and according to his good will? (Philippians 2: 12-13).
Can we please God if we realize your goodwill?It is because God’s grace, bought with blood, has gone from simple formation to almighty transformation.
