Covenant Study

Today was our first time to gather for introduction to Covenant. I've done this study multiply times but I have to say after being 3 weeks into homework I'm amazed at what God shows me once again. I'm so excited for the ladies in what they will be learning in the next 12 weeks during this course. Once you've done Covenant and then you start building up this truth with other scriptures you see God's redemption at work. One thought that comes to my mind is "soothing" kinda of an odd thougt but it's exactly how I feel. Our Sovereign God at work before the foundations of the world until the end when He makes all things final. The big picture the final picture. Yet in the midst of this He was thinking of "you" and His love for you that He provided a way that we might all be set free from the penalty of sin, power of sin and the presence of sin. In previous blogs I wrote on Pentecost and the Holy Spirit. The beauty of the transformation within by the power of the Holy Spirit so that we might want to walk in a way that is pleasing to the Lord. Our Covenant keeping God has a plan for each one of us and that is by hearing of the gospel and believing by faith we enter into a Covenant with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Jesus paid it all, Jesus blood was shed, His blood does truly wash us whiter than snow... it is not by my works but only through the shed blood that we now have access to the One and True living God. Our Covenant keeping God, it is an eternal Covenant. What freedom we have been given.... if you have trusted Him as your Lord and Savior you are now wearing His robe of righteousness. What an honor and high calling that we have been given, may we bring Him everlasting glory. So much more to say, we will be discovering much more truth in the weeks ahead in our study. Time to go, heading out to the night class.... Blessings
