a Promise ( English : Covenant ) , hereinafter referred to as
translated in the Bible as the Treaty , can be seen as a special
agreement that is based on a relationship between two parties with some
of the requirements may differ by one against the other . An agreement is valid for life and must be sealed with blood .
There is much agreement in the Bible . Let us consider three important agreements , the first , the agreement between the Lord with Abraham . Genesis
17 : 3-5 - " And Abram bowed , and GOD said to him : " From the party -
KU , KU this covenant with thee : thou shalt be a father of many
nations . So
your name is no longer called Abram, but Abraham , because you have KU -
set to be the father of many nations . " Read the whole article for
more details and blessed . After the incident , Abraham meets one of the
requirements demanded by the Lord through the blood sacrifice of
circumcision against all the men in the group , including himself .
The
second agreement is to be contemplated by the agreement between the
Lord of Israel in the wilderness , when God gave the Torah and the 10
Commandments to Moses . Exodus
24 : 7-8 - " took a book of the covenant , and read out to be heard by
the people, and they said : " Every word of God we will do and we will
listen . " And
Moses took the blood and threw it on the people and said : " This is
the blood of the covenant which the Lord held with you , based on all
these words . "
This agreement is a ' first ' for Israel , which is now referred to as the Old Testament in the Bible . God wants us to relate to His grace through faith in HIM , as Abraham . " Abram believed the Lord, and He counted it to him for righteousness . " Genesis 15 : 6
God
never intended us in touch with Him through the law , but the law
should be granted because , in their stubborn - tengkukan , Israel has
rejected the intimacy of the Lord on Mount Sinai . Exodus 20 : 18-21 - " And all the people saw the thunder thunder , lightning - risking fighting , and mountain smoky trumpet . And the people were afraid and trembled , and they stood afar off . They said to Moses : " Speak thou with us , and we will hear : but let not GOD speak with us , lest we die . " But
Moses said to the people : " Do not be afraid , because GOD has come
with the intention to try and with the intention that you will fear Him
in you , that you may not sin . " As the people stood afar off , but Moses went near a dark dew where GOD is . "
" Therefore , if only the first covenant was not flawed , will not be searched again for the second place . Because
he rebuked them when he says : " Behold , days are coming , " declares
the LORD , " I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and
with the house of Judah , not like the covenant which KU - forged with
their fathers , at the time I holding
their hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt . because they are
not faithful to the covenant - KU , and I reject them , " thus says the
Lord . " Hebrews 8 : 7-9
The third agreement to ponder is the New Testament in which we live today ! ! ! " For this is my blood, the blood of the covenant , which is shed for many for the forgiveness of sins . " Matthew 26 : 28
When
the Lord Jesus Christ died on the cross , the temple curtain (
Tabernacle ) was torn in two from top to bottom , which means that it
was torn down by the Lord himself .
Tabernacle describes 3 levels of love or intimacy :
1 . Court
stated agape , unconditional love , which is available to all who
desire to receive love , salvation and blessings from the Lord .
2 . Sanctuary states philia , a love that is more intimate relationship that exists between brothers and / or close friends .
3 . Holy
of Holies stated eros , love is the most intimate relationship that can
be owned by a person with a spouse in a marriage , a relationship that
is private - personal . In Ephesians 5 , the Apostle Paul talks about a mystery . He was talking about how it should be between husband and wife, and he was connecting with Jesus Christ and the church .
A wedding is a connective promise . In the design of an awesome God , at their first sexual intercourse , virginity curtain torn and blood will be spilled . How
much more meaningful than that , instead of the Bride ( Israel
spiritually and physically ) , but the LORD JESUS CHRIST BRIDEGROOM
was the one who had shed His blood and ripped open the Tabernacle , the
body of His own , so now we can get into before the throne of grace the Lord to have intimacy with HIM ! ! !
This is the highest calling for a Bride ! ! !The
Lord Jesus Christ has shed His blood for us not only that we 'll get
into heaven , but that we have a love relationship with Him that has
been restored today in this world . When
we respond in faith as Abraham did , each of our hearts will be
circumcised by the Holy Spirit , and we can always have terdahsyat
intimacy with our Lord Jesus Christ ! ! !
This is the greatest grace , especially in the last days ! ! !Will you respond ?
Bless the LORD JESUS
