He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago. (Eph. 2:8-10)
3 AndJesusHimselfistheMediatorofthisbettercovenantbetweenGod andhumankind(heb.9:15). 15 That is why he is the one who mediates a new covenant between God and people, so that all who are called can receive the eternal inheritance God has promised them.

6 Jesusthemediatorofthenewcovenant-Heb.8:13 13 When God speaks of a new covenant, it means he has made the first one obsolete. It is now out of date and will soon disappear. The covenant in our text in Noah s time was replaced, superseded by this new covenant that Jesus established for us with God an everlasting covenant. Heb. 9: Under the old system, the blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a young cow could cleanse people s bodies from ceremonial impurity. 14 Just think how much more the blood of Christ will purify our consciences from sinful deeds so that we can worship the living God. For by the power of the eternal Spirit, Christ offered himself to God as a perfect sacrifice for our sins. 15 That is why he is the one who mediates a new covenant between God and people, so that all who are called can receive the eternal inheritance God has promised them. For Christ died to set them free from the penalty of the sins they had committed under that first covenant. Heb 9:22 In fact, according to the law of Moses, nearly everything was purified with blood. For without the shedding of blood, there is no forgiveness. OurnewcovenantinChrist-Mt.26: As they were eating, Jesus took some bread and blessed it. Then he broke it in pieces and gave it to the disciples, saying, Take this and eat it, for this is my body. 27 And he took a cup of wine and gave thanks to God for it. He gave it to them and said, Each of you drink from it, 28 for this is my blood, which confirms the covenant between God and his people. It is poured out as a sacrifice to forgive the sins of many. God Himself came in the person of Jesus Christ, and He accepted the terms and conditions of this new covenant on our behalf. He then ratified it by shedding his own blood as the perfect sacrifice once and for all, and he offers forgiveness of sin and a blessed relationship to all who are willing to accept this unto themselves by faith. Our God is a covenant God He has done everything necessary for us to be in this covenant relationship with Him. Doyoubelievethis?
