Firstly, what is meant by covenant? A covenant is a permanent, eternal and perpetual contract. When you make a covenant with someone, it means you are willing to protect and provide for each other. Whatever belongs to you is your partner’s and whatever belongs to your partner is yours! Today, we can have a covenant with God,....if you want!
Let's make an illustration ^ ^. Let's say you have a covenant with Albert Einstein. You go school together with him everyday..and you're going to benefit more! Why..? Because he might invent teleport machine or super-speedy car for you. Whatever he has, he has to share with you. In physics tuition, he has to teach you everything again. Actually, we didn't know if he's going to have a covenant like that with us..
What I'm trying to say is that, obviously the weaker, lesser and poorer party is going to get all the benefits. We have nothing to offer God. But God, the richest and most powerful being in the universe, has everything to offer us!!!!! We have a covenant with God, the wisest Man in the whole universe! What is His, is ours! woah! Believe it and it's yours!
What else? We don't need to do anything in order to have a covenant with Him! Jesus did all the things for us! The only thing you need to do is, believing in Jesus Christ that He died for all your sins on the cross and made you righteous in Christ. You must admit that you are a sinner that you need Jesus Christ to save you. That's it, you have a covenant with God if you do so!
We are borned sinners. We sin because we are sinners. We have all sinned and fall short glory of God. Who dares to say he/she never sin before? God says all our sins must be punished because He can't stand imperfection. The wage of sin is death. God is fair, and He must keep His words. All our sins are punished in the body of Jesus Christ 2000 years ago! Jesus Christ has made us righteous by dying for our sins and paying the penalty of sin, death!
Holy Spirit is going to help you in everything you do! Obey Him, and the fruit of Holy Spirit will be seen on you! You will always have love, joy, peace etc etc on you!
Galatians 5:22-23 (New International Version)
22But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
John 3:16 (New International Version)
16"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,a]">[a] that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
Romans 10:9 (New International Version)
9That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
Romans 3:23-24 (New International Version)
23for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.
For those who are ready to meet Jesus, says this! You are just one moment away from being saved!
DEAR JESUS, I AM A SINNER. I BELIEVE YOU ARE THE SON OF GOD AND DIED FOR MY SINS ON THE CROSS. FORGIVE ALL OF MY SINS. JESUS, I REPENT. I ASK YOU TO HAVE MERCY ON ME, A SINNER, AND COME INTO MY LIFE. GIVE ME YOUR SPIRIT AND YOUR POWER. HELP ME TO FOLLOW AND OBEY YOUR COMMANDMENTS, AND TO LIVE FOR YOU. JESUS, I GIVE YOU MY LIFE. THANK YOU FOR HEARING MY PRAYER. THANK YOU FOR COMING INTO MY LIFE. I ASK IT IN THE NAME OF MY LORD AND SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST. AMEN.
