3. This new covenant is here referred to as “a better covenant” a. Better than what? Better than the “first covenant” - cf. He 8:7 b. I.e., what had been established through Moses Mark A. Copeland C. ESTABLISHED ON BETTER PROMISES... 1. What makes the new covenant better than the old are its promises 2. Some of those promises are explained later - cf. He 8:10-12 3. But Peter describes the promises we receive as “exceedingly great and precious promises” - cf. 2 Pe 1:3-4 CONCLUSION 1. With this transition passage, then, we are introduced to things that will be expounded upon as we proceed through the epistle... a. The better covenant we have in Christ, based upon its better promises b. The better ministry Christ renders as our High Priest in heaven, seated at God’s right hand 2. When such things are properly understood, we can see how Jesus is truly “Our Glorious High Priest”...! a. One who stands ready to minister in our behalf b. He is “able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him” - He 7:25 c. He is “able to aid those who are tempted” - He 2:18 Have you accepted Jesus as your High Priest by obeying His gospel? He is truly... “...the author of eternal salvation to all who obey Him.” (He 5:9) For those who have not obeyed His gospel, we find this awesome warning: “...and to give you who are troubled rest with us when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with His mighty angels, in flaming fire taking vengeance on those who do not know God, and on those WHO DO NOT OBEY THE GOSPEL OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST. These shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His power...” (2 Th 1:7-9) Please render obedience to the gospel today if you have not yet done so! - cf. Ac 2:36-39 Sermons From Hebrews 62
INTRODUCTION The Promises Of God's New Covenant Hebrews 8:7-13 1. Up to this point, the focus of The Epistle To The Hebrews has been on Christ... a. His superiority to prophets, angels, Moses b. The superiority of His priesthood to the Levitical priesthood 2. With the transition in He 8:1-6, the focus shifts to the New Covenant... a. A new covenant in which Jesus has already been described as: 1) The “surety” (guarantor) - He 7:22 2) The “Mediator” (one who intervenes) - He 8:6 b. In both passages, this covenant was described as a “better” covenant 3. Better than what? Better in what way? In Hebrews 8, we learn the answer... a. Better than the “first covenant” - cf. He 8:7 b. Better because of the “promises” contained in it - cf. He 8:6 Mark A. Copeland [In this study, “The Promises Of God’s New Covenant”, we shall examine our text (He 8:7-13) to ascertain how the New Covenant is better, especially with regard to its promises. Let’s begin by noticing...] I. GOD’S PROMISE OF A NEW COVENANT (7-9,13) A. THE FIRST COVENANT WAS NOT FAULTLESS... (7) 1. Otherwise, there would have been no need for a second covenant 2. We have already seen concerning the first covenant that... a. The Levitical priesthood could not bring perfection - He 7:11 b. The Law made nothing perfect, and was therefore annulled due to its weakness and unprofitableness - He 7:18-19 3. This inadequacy has special reference to the sacrifices of the first covenant... a. They could not make those who approach perfect - He 10:1-3 b. The blood of animals offered by the priests could not take away sins - He 10:4,11 B. THE PEOPLE OF THE FIRST COVENANT WERE ALSO AT FAULT... (8-9) 1. God found fault because they did not continue in His covenant - cf. Jer 11:7-10 2. For this reason He disregarded them, allowing them to be taken away by their enemies - cf. Jer 11:11-14 -- Even so, He did not leave them without some hope, for through the prophet Jeremiah He made a promise... C. GOD PROMISED A NEW COVENANT... (8-9) 1. Promised in Jer 31:31-34 2. In which God would make a “new covenant” with Israel and Judah 2. A covenant different than the one made at Mt. Sinai (how, we shall see in a moment) Sermons From Hebrews 63
