Today I would like to discuss the blessings of being part of the New Covenant and how privileged we are to be sanctified by it. It is a covenant that includes a process of transformation that leads us in eternity and we should all be profoundly thankful and grateful for the Father’s calling. I believe the best way to describe the blessings offered under the New Covenant, is to contrast it to the Old Covenant. In modern terminology, we can call these two covenants… the old and new relationship between God and humankind. I would like to highlight the differences in these relationships by answering the “why.” Why did God offer an old covenant, and why does He offer a new covenant?
