A study from Vince Baker Ministries
What does it mean to be in covenant with God?
Abraham’s story gives the promises a history. Jeremiah speaks to a people who had broken covenant and promises forgiveness and God’s law written on the heart. Hebrews connects that promise to Jesus as mediator. Follow the setting and recipient of each passage before drawing an application for your own life.
How to Respond to the New Covenant
These final sayings emphasize human response. Hebrews shows that response in concrete terms: drawing near, holding fast, and encouraging one another. Choose one act of encouragement or commitment that fits your present circumstances and follows from the passage.
Put one quote into practice
Choose one passage and write down who makes the promise, whom it addresses, and what response the text calls for. Give thanks for one feature of God’s character you see there. Carry that gratitude into one commitment you need to keep this week.
